Subject: [MUSEUM-L] looking for pictures of ships

Hi All,

I am profiling a resident of the Firemen’s Home named John Cruise O’Neil, who was a ship carpenter, for a new exhibit on the history of the Home. I would love to find some graphics of the ships he worked on as a young man. I hope some of my nautical friends out there can help me or send me in the right direction: I have been unsuccessful searching online. I am looking for pictures, if they exist, of the ship Enchantress, which was a 1,000 ton clipper ship and the Union, a 800-ton ship built by Westervelt and MacKay, built at the foot of Grand Street. Mr. O’Neil talks about building ships at the foot of Grand Street (NYC) and on Staten Island in his remembrance. I do not have specific dates of construction or launch: my guess is mid-1800’s. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Jamie Smith, Director FASNY Museum of Firefighting
