John Gunder North (December 15, 1826 - Sep. 19, 1872) was a Norwegian born, ship builder in San Francisco. During his career, he built 273 hulls of all kinds with 53 bay and river steamers, including the famed paddle steamers ''Chrysopolis'', ''Yosemite'' and ''Capital''. 〔(Narratives of Domingo Marcucci, John G. North, Peter Owens, Patrick Tiernan, George Middlemass, James Dickie, Irving M. Scott, and Others, ''Evolution of Shipping and Ship-Building in California, Part II'', Overland Monthly and Out West Magazine, Volume 25, February 1895 )〕 ==Early life== John G. North was born Johan Gurenius Nordtvedt in Trondheim, Norway. Becoming a shipbuilder for the Norwegian government, he built twenty gunboats for the Royal Norwegian Navy. He was then given a subsidy to study American shipbuilding techniques and came to Philadelphia in July 1848. After visiting and working in shipyards in New York, Boston, Portland and New Orleans, North decided to stay in the United States, and came by sea as a ships officer to San Francisco, California in July 28, 1850. He visited the mines for a short time, then returned to San Francisco to partner with Captain William H. Moore in a small steamboat beginning a firm that later became part of the California Steam Navigation Company. After acquiring enough money from the steamboat business by 1853 North returned to being a shipbuilder.〔〔(Guide to the John G.
