Truscott Boat Manufacturing Company: A shining star of American industry

摘要

A merica was sliding into the abyss of an economic depression in 1892, but boatbuilder Thomas Henry Truscott-a visionary in the spirit of Henry Ford-imagined a shining future for recreational watercraft in America. Despite the nation's financial woes, which would culminate with the "Panic of 1893" (which set off a depression that lasted until 1897), Truscott envisioned a prosperous future for the company he managed with his sons-John, James, and Edward.
