1897 HIREM WELLER'S BOAT WORKS





The MAP, photo, and article above tells the fascinating history and evolution of the old Hirem Weller Boat Works, once located on Brunswick Avenue and adjoining the canal. During its heyday, the company was reknowned for quality and seaworthy vessels. The shaded area of the map shows where the yard was located, a basin along the Delaware and Raritan Canal on Brunswick Avenue between Southard Street and Evans Avenue on today's map.
