Wild Bill Daley’s career born from shipyard blaze to alderman run
Merritt Pinkham recalls Wild Bill Daley 18 year old as a steamboat man who later ran McFadden and Sampson trucking then Portland steel shop work and Quincy Bethlehem Shipyards. He rose to foreman at the Iron Works burning crew of 24 and helped launch destroyers including the Dewey using new acetylene cutting methods. Daley’s baseball fame earned him the nickname Wild Bill and he pursued politics in Ward 7, nearly toppling Mayor Donald N. Small in a Democratic bid. He is married to Alma Harjula and has a son William Irving Duley. He lives at 997 Middle Street.
