Bio

Introduction:
I nominate the above person for the above nominated category as he began building schooners in 1907, the year that his first child was born. He named this ship in honour of his son - The Reynolds. He then went on to build another 5 ships and named them in honour of his next 5 children - The Leona, The Constancia, The Goldstein, The WC Trenwick and the Ellery. After building 17 ships for the people out of Nicaragua and Panama, he was commissioned to build his last ship - The Shirley - for a Nicaraguan gentleman in 1947. Every ship that he built, was built in the Miller's shipyard in North SIde.
