This panoramic print of
Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, Pennsylvania was drawn and published by
Webster & Hunter in 1897. Philadelphia became the site of the United
States Naval Shipyard in 1801. As ships were beginning to be made of
iron in the 1870's, the shipyard facilities were moved from their Front
St. location to League Island. This new site at the confluence of the
Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers employed hundreds of Philadelphians.
The image from 1897 includes buildings, warships, piers, dry docks
and city skyline in the distance. |

reflected in the original map at the time it was collected for
