Company history
editThe co-founders of the firm that would become W. & A. Fletcher were William and Andrew Fletcher and Joseph G. Harrison. The Fletchers were Scottish-born brothers who emigrated as young children to the United States with their parents in 1829. The two brothers eventually followed their father's trade by joining the New York engineering firm of H. R. Dunham & Co. in their teens as apprentice machinists. Both proved to have exceptional ability and had risen to managerial positions in the firm by their early twenties.
With the retirement of Henry R. Dunham, proprietor of H. R. Dunham & Co., in 1853, the Fletcher brothers joined forces with a young machinist from the Delamater Iron Works, Joseph G. Harrison, to start their own business. Capital for the venture was provided by Harrison's father, a successful businessman. The three young machinists established their new firm in 1853 on the premises of the old Phoenix Foundy on West Street, New York, between Laight and Vestry Streets, under the name Fletcher, Harrison & Company. William Fletcher became manager of the new firm and his brother Andrew designing engineer, while Harrison attended to office matters. The new company's alternative name, the North River Iron Works, was an apparent homage to H. R. Dunham's defunct firm, which had also gone by the alternative name "North River Iron Foundry".
Fletcher, Harrison & Co. was originally established as a ship repair facility, but in 1854, its second year of operation, the company accepted its first contract for construction of a marine steam engine, for the small 31-ton Hudson River steamer James H. Elmore. Other, larger marine engine contracts soon followed, in sufficient quantity to enable the company to eventually abandon ship repairs and become a specialist in marine engine and boiler construction.(haer)
The company appears to have supplied no marine engines directly to the U.S. Navy during the American Civil War, but at least four privately-owned steamboats powered by Fletcher, Harrison engines were purchased by the Navy and converted into the gunboats USS Isaac N. Seymour, USS Isaac Smith, USS Nansemond and USS Oleander. Many more Fletcher-powered steamers were, however, chartered by the Navy for use as transports or supply vessels. Shortly after the war, the company also supplied the engines for two Great Lakes revenue cutters, Sherman and Fessenden.
In the postwar period, New York suffered what has been described as America's first deindustrialization crisis, as the flood of ex-Navy vessels entering the market deprived the city's shipbuilding and marine engineering companies of new orders for a prolonged period, driving many of them out of business. Fletcher, Harrison & Co. was one of the few New York-based marine engineering companies to survive the slump. While marine engineering companies of the period typically acted as subcontractors to shipbuilding firms, Fletcher, Harrison reversed the practice by frequently competing directly with shipbuilding companies for complete ship contracts, building the engines and machinery themselves and subcontracting hull construction to a shipbuilder. By the 1890s, Fletcher Co. had become the largest such contractor in the United States.
The Fletcher company remained primarily a marine engine and boiler maker through most of its history, and its reputation was established on this line of work. It never built complete ships, but the company's managers accumulated considerable shipbuilding expertise and often acted as consultants on the design of the vessels for which they supplied the machinery. In some cases, they appear to have been responsible for designing at least parts of these vessels.
Over the course of its history, the company established close working relationships with a number of shipbuilding firms. In its early years, the company supplied the machinery for many steamboats built by Benjamin C. Terry, Keyport, New Jersey's largest shipbuilder. Another shipbuilder with which Fletcher Co. often partnered in this period was the New York, later Greenpoint shipbuilding firm of Lawrence & Foulks. These two firms exclusively built wooden-hulled ships. In the 1880s, Fletcher Co. formed a close working relationship with T. S. Marvel & Co., a company capable of building both wooden and iron or steel-hulled ships. Other iron and steel shipbuilding companies to subcontract with Fletcher Co. from the 1880s included the famous Delaware River firms of William Cramp & Sons, Harlan & Hollingsworth and John Roach & Sons. On the Great Lakes, a frequent collaborator was the Detroit Dry Dock Company.
Notable engines
editThe firm also began to establish a reputation for quality; it was said of the proprietors that they would "sooner lose money than slight work". A number of early vessels powered by the company's engines proved exceptionally fast, including the Hudson River steamboats Sylvan Grove (1858) and Daniel Drew (1860), but it was the powerplant supplied for the celebrated 1861 steamboat Mary Powell which is said to have gained the company widespread recognition as one of America's leading marine engine manufacturers.

Footnotes
edit- ^ Type of ship. One or more stars following the type denotes a screw-propelled vessel, with number of stars denoting number of propellers. All other vessels are sidewheel steamers.
- ^ Year of ship launch where known; otherwise year of completion.
- ^ Gross register tonnage where available; otherwise as noted.
- ^ There must be some doubt about this entry as May Queen's build date is given as 1853 while most sources state that Fletcher, Harrison & Co. did not build their first marine engine until the following year. One possible explanation for the discrepancy would be that Fletcher, Harrison & Co. replaced the original engine at a later date.
- ^ a b c d e f g h i j Date of name change unknown.
- ^ Frazer erroneously names the builder as B. C. Terry.
- ^ Frazer gives the builder as T. C. Donaldson.[44]
- ^ The name of this ship is also given in various sources as Shan Sci or Shan-Sco. American Lloyds (1864) states that this vessel had two engines; this appears to be an error as no other source makes mention of multiple engines.
- ^ Murdock names the builder as Lewis Minnerly.[106]
- ^ 1881 owner.
- ^ A subsidiary of the Rutland Railroad Company.[115]
- ^ Net register tons.
- ^ A private company operated on behalf of the Pennsylvania Railroad company and taken over by the latter in 1897.[166]
- ^ The New York Times refers to the ship as Keroughtan (with an "r"),[194] almost certainly a misspelling of Kecoughtan which was an early name for Newport News, Virginia, the steamer's destination. Additionally, Kecoughtan's engine dimensions as reported in the Times match those of only one steamboat in the records of the manufacturer, W. & A. Fletcher Co., that of Luray, built in about 1882 for the Old Dominion SSC.[195] Evidently, Kecoughtan was renamed Luray by the company either prior to or shortly after the vessel entered service.
- ^ a b The two cylinders on Fletcher-built compound beam engines each had a different length of stroke as they were attached to different points on the skeleton beam. Since cylinders of the same engine normally have the same stroke, some sources have erroneously assumed that either there were two separate engines, or else that the additional stroke length listed refers to the dimensions of a nonexistent third cylinder in a triple expansion engine.
- ^ Also known as Gov. Emerson C. Harrington.[316]
- ^ The ship was renamed Berkshire before entering service, but did not enter service until 1913—six years after launch,[369] and the exact year the vessel was renamed is thus not known.
- ^ Robert Fulton's engine came from New York according to Dayton.[350]
- ^ Year of ship launch where known; otherwise year of completion.
- ^ Gross register tonnage where available; otherwise as noted.
