Gilded Majestically Down the Ways ... Chester Celebrates
100 Years
When William Penn landed in Chester in 1682, he brought
with him an emphasis on shipbuilding from his island homeland
of England, specifying that his fellow colonists save all the good
oak trees for shipbuilding when they cleared the land. Even the
visionary founder of the Pennsylvania colony likely didn't foresee
that centuries later the banks of the Delaware River where he
landed would be the home of the largest privately owned shipyard
in the world. October 30, 2017, marked 100 years since "this
city's first all-Chester-made vessel, 'Chester Sun,' a 10,000
ton bulk oil steamer, gilded majestically down the ways" at the
Sun Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co., as the then Chester Times
described the scene in 1917.
The Chester Sun was the first ship to launch at the yard that
would produce 40 percent of U.S. tanker production in World War
II - helping to lift the Philadelphia region to account for one-sixth
of the nation's industrial war effort by mid-1942 - and set off 65
more years of innovations in all-welded ship construction, roll-on,
roll-off cargo ships, industrial manufacturing for high octane fuel
production and aerospace, covert ship construction for the CIA,
and reshaping its home city of Chester.
