William Fletcher Weld
William Fletcher Weld (April 15, 1800 – December 12, 1881) was an American shipping magnate during the Golden Age of Sail. He later invested in railroads and real estate. Weld multiplied his family's fortune into a huge legacy for his descendants and the public.
==Early life==
Weld was a son of William Gordon Weld, a prosperous ship master and ship owner, and his wife Hannah Minot. Weld planned to attend Harvard as his father had before him; however, during the War of 1812, a British frigate cruising off Boston Harbor captured one of the family's ships carrying a valuable cargo of wine and Spanish silver dollars. This financial disaster ended Weld's plans for Harvard. Instead, Weld became a clerk for an importer in Boston at age 15. By 22 he was in the dry-goods trade, but his partner's lack of business sense put the company in debt.
