Joshua Hendy Iron Works

The Joshua Hendy Iron Works was an American engineering company that existed from the 1850s to the late 1940s. It was at one time a world leader in mining technology and its equipment was used to build the Panama Canal, amongst other major projects. The company went on to serve many different markets during the course of its existence, but is perhaps best remembered today for its contribution to the American shipbuilding industry during World War II.〔Herman, pp. 181-3.〕
==Beginnings==

The company took its name from its founder Joshua Hendy. Born in Cornwall, England in 1822, Hendy at the age of thirteen migrated together with two brothers to South Carolina in the United States, where he grew to adulthood. Joshua eventually married and set himself up as a blacksmith in Houston, Texas, but with the death of his wife and young family from yellow fever, he sailed round Cape Horn to San Francisco in 1849 to seek his fortune in the California Gold Rush.
Hendy established himself in his new location by building California's first redwood lumber mill, the Benicia Sawmill (the region where he built the sawmill is now known as the Hendy Woods State Park in his honor). In 1856, he established the Joshua Hendy Iron Works in San Francisco to supply equipment to Gold Rush placer miners. The Hendy plant soon began to supply equipment of all kinds to the mining industry.
