Peter Thompson

The data describe firms that launched at least one metal vessel in the U.S. over 20 gross tons (minimum requirement for registration) between 1825 and 1914. The data set also includes all metal (iron and steel) vessels produced by these firms, regardless of tonnage. The sample contains 273 firms (Data File 1) and over 4,000 vessels (Data File 2). Seven Word documents (Data File 3) contain the raw information collected in the process of constructing the data set.
