Another Liverpool Line was started in Boston in 1828, and the ships _Boston_, _Lowell_, _Liverpool_, _Plymouth_, and _Trenton_ of this line were built by Mr. Magoun. He also built between 1822 and 1829, the ships _Lucilla_, 369 tons, owned by Daniel P. Parker; _Brookline_, 376 tons, and _Courser_, 300 tons, owned by Henry Oxnard; and the _Margaret Forbes_, 398 tons, owned by Bryant & Sturgis, all sailing out of Boston. Other Medford ship-builders were Sprague & James, Isaac Taylor, Hayden & Cudworth, J. O. Curtis, Waterman & Elwell, Samuel Lapham, and Paul Curtis. Their ships were known all over the world as fine, well-built vessels. In 1845 one quarter of all the shipwrights in Massachusetts were employed in Medford, and 9660 tons of shipping were launched from its building yards. The leading ship-builder at Newburyport was John Currier, Jr., who from 1831 to 1843 built the ships _Brenda_, _Republic_, _Oberlin_, _St. Clair_, _Leonore_, and _Columbus_ for the Black Ball Line, and in 1836 the _Talbot_, _Flavio_, _Navigator_, _Huntress_, _Strabo_, and _Virginia_, ranging from 339 to 365 tons, as well as several barques, brigs, and schooners. The firms of George W. Jackman and Currier & Townsend had not been formed at this date. Portsmouth, New Hampshire, was also noted for her ships and seamen, the principal builders in 1840 being George Raynes, Fernald & Pettigrew, and Toby & Littlefield, while the Shackfords and Salters had been sea-captains for generations. Mr. Raynes was born at York, Maine, in 1799 and in 1835 removed to Portsmouth where he established a shipyard upon the famous Boyd estate, with its fine old trees, lawns, and gardens of vegetables, fruits, and flowers sloping to the clear blue water’s edge. The family residence, erected by Colonel George Boyd in 1767, was an excellent example of colonial architecture. In later days it became known as the Raynes mansion, and for many years was one of the show places of Portsmouth. The original beauty of the grounds was preserved so far as possible, and this was perhaps the most beautiful and picturesque shipyard of modern times.
