Andrew Sprowle : ウィキペディア英語版 | Andrew Sprowle
Andrew Sprowle (c. 1714 – 1776) was a merchant, British naval agent, and landowner in Portsmouth, Virginia, best known for establishing the Gosport Navy Yard, which is currently known as Norfolk Naval Shipyard. Sprowle emigrated from Scotland to what is currently the Commonwealth of Virginia in the mid-18th century, where he lived until his death in 1776. ==Early life== Sprowle, after emigrating from Scotland, settled in Norfolk Borough around 1746, where opportunities for wealth were available in the soon-developing town of Portsmouth. Sprowle's appearance and place of origin in Scotland remain unknown, owing to the fact that no portrait or family history has been conclusively written.〔 With regard to his early years in Hampton Roads, only fragments of court records remain to list ships and property that he owned.〔
