In their publication titled History of Lynn, Essex county: Massachusetts, published at Boston in 1865 wrote Alonzo Lewis and James R. Newhall in volume 1,
P. 398: “A Whaling Company was formed, and five ships employed,
P. 399: 'three of which were built at Lynn. They harbored in Saugus river, but on the crossing of the rail-road, in 1838, they were removed to Boston. [None of the whale ships were built at Lynn. A ship yard was established in the western part of the town, about this time, but no vessel larger than a schooner was built there.”
