Iron furnace crosses oceans ending long western journey
Pioneers of the iron industry recall the Battelle Alabama furnace once abandoned for location and transport flaws. Active for 11 years it stood until World War I demands moved its assets. In August 1917 the stock was dismantled, shipped to New Orleans, sent to India aboard a steamship, and became the first iron furnace to cross the ocean and forge iron on two continents.
