| John Englis joined his father's shipbuilding business in 1850, at his yard at the foot of East Tenth Street in Manhattan. They moved to Greenpoint in 1872, to a site at the foot of Greenpoint Avenue, where Transmitter Park is today. Englis' two sons joined him in 1882 and the name was changed to John Englis & Sons, which was primarily a ship repair business. The company closed in 1911, the longest-lived of the great 19th-century yards in New York Harbor, but doesn't seem to have built any new ships after about 1883. The table below is clearly incomplete: if anyone has any data to add to it, please send it to me at timcolton@aol.com. | ||||||||
