The Cape Ann Anchor Works originated in a blacksmith shop owed by Benjamin Haskell in 1823 where he made hand forged anchors for the Gloucester fishing fleet. In 1880, John Pew & Sons paid the Cape Ann Anchor Works to move to Whittemore Street where it enlarged its plant and engaged in general forging in addition to anchor-making. Later named Cape Anchor Works and Forging Company, the company produced axels and crankshafts for heavy industry and its products were shipped throughout the United States and to Canada. Cape Ann Anchor Works merged with Standard International in 1969 and ceased operations in 1985. Its real estate has been acquired by McNiff Company.
The materials in this collection include ledger books dating between 1882 and 1913 with a few gaps.
