JWH: 'After school days he chose the sea as a profession and was master of an East Indiaman at the age of twenty-two; commanded many different sailing ships and steamers; visiting all the principal ports in the world. In 1903 he gave up the sea and took charge of dredges employed in opening the new Ambrose Channel -- the great new fair-way for ocean liners entering the port of New York. In 1905 affiliated with the Townsend & Downey Shipbuilding Company, entering into the shipbuilding business. In 1906 he superintended the construction of the 'Roosevelt'-- the ship which carried Commander Peary on his last successful trip in search of the North Pole. Has now retired from active sea service.⁴'
