Historical Context
The origins of the Robins Dry Dock and Repair Company date back to 1869 and the formation of Handren and Robins in Erie Basin of Brooklyn, New York. The shipyard featured numerous historic buildings, the majority of which were built in the 19th and early 20th centuries. After Handren passed away in 1892, the company became known as the Robins Dry Dock and Repair Company. It merged with the nearby Erie Basin Dry Dock company (which was owned by a relative of Robins.) William H. Todd worked for this company and later bought it with and several other shipyards to form the William H. Todd Corporation. Over the decades nearly 70 ships were built at this shipyard, many of which were NYC ferryboats, and at least one fireboat, the John J Harvey. The JJ Harvey was retired from active duty in 1994, and was temporarily brought back into service in the aftermath of the September 11th attack on the World Trade Center. This ship is one of the last, if not the last, ships constructed at the Todd shipyard to still exist today. |
