The vessel's keel was laid when the company was known as Moore & Scott Iron Works, but it was launched after the company's name changed to Moore Shipbuilding Company.

Extent: 25 photographs (29 physical forms: 22 glass plate negatives, 1 nitrate negative, 1 preservation contact interpositive, 1 preservation contact negative, and 4 photographic prints)

Scope and Content Note

Consists of fifteen photographs related to the ceramic manufacturer Gladding, McBean & Company of Lincoln, California, including aerial views of their factory and views of buildings in Northern California (Marysville, San Francisco, Woodland and Woodside) containing architectural elements that the company manufactured. Gabriel Moulin Studios is possibly the photographer, but it cannot be confirmed. Includes three photographs of an unidentified mining site with machinery manufactured by Prescott, Scott & Company of San Francisco. Also includes photographs of miscellaneous locations, including a map of San Rafael, California, and unidentified beach landscapes.
The relationship between the photographs in Series 3 to Moore Dry Dock Company is unclear. Although the Moore Dry Dock Company was involved with the manufacture of structural steel for buildings, they do not appear to have been involved with the buildings pictured in Series 3. However, there is a family connection between Prescott, Scott & Company and Moore & Scott Iron Works, which might explain why the Prescott, Scott & Company photographs are in this collection. Irving Murray Scott (1837-1903) was one of the co-owners of Prescott, Scott & Company, and he was the uncle of John T. Scott (1865-1960), who co-owned Moore & Scott Iron Works from 1905-1917.
Irving Murray Scott (1837-1903) was a mechanical engineer in California, superintendent of Union Iron Works of San Francisco starting in 1863, and co-owner of the company from 1865 to the late 1890s. He had a nephew named Irving M. Scott, Jr. (1862-1952), who was a draftsman and engineer who worked at Union Iron Works, Moore & Scott Iron Works, and Pacific Coast Shipbuilding Company. Irving M. Scott, Jr. was the brother of John T. Scott (1865-1960), who co-owned Moore & Scott Iron Works from 1905-1917 and founded the Pacific Coast Shipbuilding Company in 1917.
"[While with Union Iron Works, Irving], in connection with Colonel James G. Fair and William H. Patten, civil and mining engineer, designed all the principal hoisting, pumping, milling, and refining machinery of the celebrated Comstock mines, Nevada" (Phelps, 162).
In 1865, Peter Donahue and Charles Higgins sold their interest in Union Iron Works and Henry J. Booth, George W. Prescott and Irving M. Scott went into partnership, with Scott becoming the general manager of the works. The new firm was called H.J. Booth and Company (History of the San Francisco Yard, 8).
In June 1875, Henry J. Booth retired and the firm name was changed to Prescott, Scott and Company (History of the San Francisco Yard, 8). In 1880, Irving M. Scott took a trans-Pacific voyage and visited many shipyards around the world. When he returned to San Francisco, he reorganized the company to make shipbuilding its principal business. The business was incorporated and reverted to its earlier name of Union Iron Works.
