R. J. Hackett (steamer)
The ''R. J. Hackett'' (official number 21934)〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Maritime History of the Great Lakes )〕 was a steamer built in 1869. When first launched, the ship's wide cross-section and long midships hold were unconventional, but the design's advantages in moving cargo through the inland lakes spawned many imitators. The ''Hackett'' is recognized as the first Great Lakes freighter, a vessel type that has dominated Great Lakes shipping for over 100 years.〔 In 1905, the ''Hackett'' caught fire and sank on Whaleback Shoal in Green Bay, southeast of the Cedar River in Menominee County, Michigan. The wreck site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.〔
==Shipbuilder Elihu M. Peck==
Elihu Monroe Peck (1822 – May 8, 1896) was a pioneer in shipbuilding and passenger and freight hauling. He was born in Butternuts, New York〔 in 1822. When Peck was 16, he began working in the profession of a ship's carpenter,〔 moving to Cleveland, Ohio and apprenticing to shipbuilder Philo Moses.〔 In 1847, Peck started his own shipyard, building a single new ship (the schooner ''Jenny Lind''), but focusing on the repair of older ships. Peck later took a turn at captaining his own ship, the ''Fountain City''. In 1855, Peck formed a partnership with Irvine U. Masters, beginning the firm of Peck & Masters.〔 The new firm focused on building new vessels.〔 Masters died in 1866,〔 but Peck kept the name of the firm.〔
Peck married Susan Ettling Rogers of Bedford, Ohio in 1845. The couple had two children, both of whom died young.〔 Peck also had other business interests, as president of People's Gas Light Company of Cleveland and a director of the Savings Loan Association.〔 He was a delegate to his county Republican convention in 1855 and was elected a waterworks commissioner in 1867.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = The Encyclopedia of Cleveland History )〕
Peck had a reputation as a brusque but fair man, with a streak of unconventionality.〔 When work was slow, he kept his builders employed by building ships on speculation;〔 these speculative builds were always eventually sold.〔 The first ship he built, schooner ''Jenny Lind'', had a blunt bow and almost square cross-section, unlike the more conventional sleek, raked schooners of the day.〔 However, the ''Jenny Linds design created more cargo space, giving the ship an advantage over competing schooners.〔
