Samuel H. Pine
Samuel Havre Pine (New Jersey, 1827 – New York, 1904) was a 19th-century American ship designer and builder located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. His early career was marked by his position as superintendent to the construction of many notable ships in the shipyards of Jacob Aaron Westervelt (later mayor of New York) and Henry Steers.[1] After the civil war, he built a multitude of ships, including many well-appointed fast steam and sailing yachts for famous magnates of the day - including Jacob and Louis Lorillard. He built the racing yacht enchantress; famous in its day for international racing and whose model presently resides at the New York Yacht Club. He died in Brooklyn following an operation at the age of 77. He is buried in Brooklyn's Green-Wood Cemetery.
