OF John r. Houghton. the Batf

Times says.
"He was one of the few human links
connecting present day Bath with the
days of the glory of the sailing ship.
His family WAS one of those which was
most conspieuously connected with the
Bath shipbuilding industry in the period
between the Revolutionary and Civil
Wars. and he himself entered actively
into the affairs of the firm before the end
of that epoch and was identified with the
business until the last Heughton ship
was launched % years ago, living to see
the almost total disappearance of the
sailing ship as a factor in international
trade. Mr.. Houghton was the son of
Levi Houghton who came at the age of
10 to Bath with 500 in his pocket in 1862.
and opened store in the brick building
still standing in the Houghton shipyard,
at that time owned by Jonathan Davis.
The youthful newcomer prospered. in
1908 purchased the property known as the
Houghton yard since, and in 1919 built
there the brig Bolton, the first of a fleet
of A vessels of an aggregate measure
ment of more than 10000 tons, the last
of which, the ship Parthia, was launched
in 1891.
