BATH IRON WORKS
CASA
T the close of the Civil War. Gen. Thomas W. Hyde returned to Bath, Me .. his native city, and purchased a small, almost unknown iron foundry. At first the sole business was the making of simple castings. but General Hyde. applying the same peculiar ability that distinguished him in every field, rapidly improved and enlarged his sphere of work. New machinery was added and a machine shop built and he entered the field of building ship machinery such as windlasses. hoisting engines, etc.
In 1884 the Bath Iron Works was organized and in 1889 the Bath Iron Works, Ltd., purchased the plant of the Goss Marine Iron Works at Bath, a plant engaged in the building of marine engines and boilers.
In connection with this plant a shipyard was built, and in April, 1890. the first vessels, other than wood. constructed in Maine were contracted for, the United States gunboats "Machias" and "Castine". The company was successful from a financial and engineering point of view.
The building of vessels' auxiliaries was turned over to a company organized for the purpose and ealled the Hyde Windlass Company, which company built an entire new plant at Bath for this business.
In 1897 General Hyde was obliged by ill health to retire from the active management of the Bath Iron Works, and his son Edward W. Hyde became Presi- dent and John S Hyde. another son. Vice-President.
General Hyde died November 14, 1899. Soon after his death the Bath Iron Works was purchased by the United States Shipbuilding Company, and subsequently became the property. through reorganization, of their successors.
In 1905, John S. Hyde purchased the Bath Iron Works, Ltd .. and put new capital into the business, since which time the plant has practically been rebuilt in steel, brick or concrete, wharves extended and new machinery installed.
The present plant consists of offices and drawing rooms with fireproof vaults, building slips. shipyard, punch shop. bending floor and furnaces, machine shop, boiler shop, forge shop. anglesmith shop. coppersmith shop. tinsmith shop. piping and plumbing shop, pattern shop. carpenter shop. paint shop. electricians' shop. mold loft, rigger loft. brass foundry and chemical and testing laboratory; all in modern buildings, equipped with the best and most modern tools and machinery.
The plant is thoroughly equipped with powerful cranes and handling machinery. together with steam, electricity. compressed air and hydraulic power plants.
The company employs about 1000 men in many trades. and has made a specialty of light construction and high speed work, giving particular attention to the most difficult requirements in this line. It was the first company in this country to become licensee for the manufacture of the Parsons marine turbine, of which prime mover it has built over 130,000 horse power.
The company is also licensed to build the Normand water tube boiler, of which they have built abont 200.000 horse power.
It has built for the United States Navy, five torpedo boats. ten torpedo boat destroyers. one battleship, one scout cruiser, one protected cruiser. one ram. one praetice vessel and four gunboats, and also many high speed yachts and passenger steamers for private owners
The present officers of the Company are: John S. Hyde. President and General Manager: Charles P. Wetherbee. Vice-President and Superintending Engineer : John McInnes. Superintendent of Construction: Hubert H. McCarty. Treasurer : Joseph M. Trott. Secretary and Counsel.
These five comprise the Board of Directors.
