S.C. Jones

S.C. Jones was a prominent shipbuilder based in Buffalo, New York, during the mid-19th century. Known for constructing durable and efficient wooden schooners, Jones contributed significantly to the Great Lakes shipping industry. His vessels were primarily used in bulk cargo transport, including lumber and other essential goods, vital to the economic growth of the Great Lakes region. The ATHENIAN, built in 1856, is one such example of Jones’s craftsmanship, showcasing the typical robust design necessary for the challenging conditions of the lakes.
