==Early life==
George Steers was born in Washington D.C., USA, in 1819. His father, Henry Steers, was engaged as Naval Constructor for the U.S. Government.
George never learned the trade of ship carpenter, but rather built vessels based on the design concepts he worked out for himself in his youth, growing up as a shipbuilder's son.〔(George Steers, The Famous Long Island Shipbuilder, March 29, 1896, The New-York Times )〕 He became a journeyman for William H. Brown, in whose service he assisted in building the ''Arctic'' and another of the Collins steamers.
