Hillman Ship & Engine Building
Philadelphia PA
Hillman & Streaker was established in the 1840s and merged with Birely & Sons in 1866. Charles Hillman and his sons bought out Birely and Streaker in 1888 and changed the name to Hillman Ship & Engine Building. A Navy contract bankrupted them in 1899 and the property was acquired by Cramp. The yard was located at the foot of Montgomery Avenue, in Kensington, just downstream from Cramp's yard.
