Historical or Biographical Note
The company was founded in 1879 by J.J. Haviside. Originally, the firm's business was confined to rigging, caulking, ship
reconditioning, etc. and had almost exclusive control over this business in San Francisco. Expanding in the late 1920s, the
firm, by 1930, included a ship chandlery and supplies division, rigging and sail-making division, and a derek barge and salvaging
division.
