Rich Steers - Chronology )〕 ==Family and Background== Of English descent, the Steers family had been involved in various maritime pursuits for over 200 years in England and the US, a long lineage that included involvement in the Plymouth Royal Dockyards. The family came to the United States in 1817, when naval architect Henry Steers relocated to New York City with his sons James Rich Steers (1808-1896) and George Steers. James would go on to co-found the boat-building concern George Steers and Co with George, who is perhaps best known as the designer of the yacht America, winner of the first America's Cup race. James Sr. was succeeded in the business by his own son Henry Steers, born in 1832. A number of American Steers family members, including company founder and owner James Rich Steers Jr. (d. 1936), his brother, also named Henry Steers (1865-1928), and Henry Coster Steers (d. 1947), among others were graduates of Saint Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire.
