no craft larger than an ordinary row boat could have navigated between Wallingford and Pine Bridge, yet tradition hath 1t, one such craft of considerable burden in spite Of all obstacles was foated safely down to it's destination. The river bed certainly was never more than super6cially cleared.
 Below Pine Bridge the conditions for navi- gation were more favorable. There was an extra depth at high water of from three to four feet, wider stream, broader curves, smoother bottom and everything more invit- ing to Mir. Hall and his partners to make this the headquarters of their expeditions, and that they did so, from all concurrent tradi- tion, there is no doubt.
 There must have been something profitable in this venture, for about 1760 North Haven people began to stir themselves in this direc- tion. A shipyard and landing place was es. tablfshed about this time on the west bank of the river just below Joel E. Bassett's, and here the sound of sledge and broad axe for many years was constant. Joel Bradley, builder of the old brick house in the Fifth district, set up craft of sixteen tons burden out of the na- l tive oaks on his plantation, and drawing the l same with oxen to Pine Bridge, launched it "away for the coasting trade to Boston. ' | Similar vessels were constructed in other parts of the parish and taken there ard
 launched. Of them the "brig Hiram" WAS | the largest and most noted. She was built
 at this yard by one Collins, boss ship car- penter, about 1706. The owners were main ly the Bradleys in the afore mentioned Fifth | district. Captain William Davidson, of Milford, commanded the craft, and Frederic c. Bradley of this village sailed as supercar- go. The little craft cleared from New Ha. | ven for the West Indies and was never heard of again.
 | In 1779 Joseph Pierpoint, Thomas Wal' ter and Ell Sackett built Bateau there Also in this same year came certain Capt
 Rogers, and one Capt. Bbenezer Barker (old
 sailors), who, hailing in from their ooastine
 trips, brought small cargoes of salt which
 they essayed to exchange for rye througt
 Joseph Pierpont as commission merchant
 at the rate of three and one-half bushels ot | the latter for one of the former. But this
 cannot be pursued further. Say what the
 reader may, and laugh as he perhaps will al these declarations of a once commercial &C.,
 tivity here, the fact remains that by frequent
 allusions in old account books, by bits oi
 evidence on old memorandums, by strangely
 coincident tradition, there was from 1770 te 1900 period of prosperity in this line and
 in the hard wood lumber trade, with the old
 "Pine Bridge Shipyard" for its center, such
 as would sstonish the people of the town
 could the volume of it be reduced to statis'
 tics and unrolled before them.
