Henry Gildersleeve

Henry Gildersleeve, a 19th Century American shipbuilder involved in the construction of 120 vessels of all types, was born in Gildersleeve, Connecticut (now part of Portland, Connecticut), on April 7, 1817, in the family homestead on Indian Hill Avenue. He died of heart disease on April 9, 1894, in his residence that he built in 1853 on Main Street in Gildersleeve. At age 17, Gildersleeve left school and went to work in his father's shipyard. In 1842 he was taken into partnership with his father (Sylvester Gildersleeve) under the firm name of S. Gildersleeve & Son. Henry Gildersleeve was part owner of many of the larger ships and schooners built by the yard and amassed a considerable fortune during the times the American merchant marine was in its glory.〔''Gildersleeves of Gildersleeve, Conn. and descendants of Philip Gildersleeve'', by Willard Harvey Gildersleeve, Journal Publishing Co., Meridan, Connecticut, 1914, p.33〕
== Ship Construction ==

From 1834 to 1890, the period during which he was actively interested in the Gildersleeve shipyard, there were built 9 sloops, 46 schooners, 4 brigs, 6 barques, 11 ships, one pilot boat, one gunboat, 7 oil barges, 9 ice barges, and 26 coal, sand and cotton barges, making a total of 75 sailing vessels, 14 steamers and 31 barges, for a combined total of 120 crafts, costing $2,100,000, being an average cost of $17,500.
The most expensive sailing ships built by S. Gildersleeve & Son were the ''S. Gildersleeve'', of fifteen hundred tons, built in 1854 at a cost of $59,000 and the ''National Guard'' of fifteen hundred tons, built in 1857 at a cost of $55,000.〔''Gildersleeves of Gildersleeve, Conn. and descendants of Philip Gildersleeve'', by Willard Harvey Gildersleeve, Journal Publishing Co., Meridan, Connecticut, 1914, p.33〕
