Documents | ![]() | "McLellanville" This is a reprint of an article originally published between 1890 and 1895 describing the McLellan shipyards run by the McLellans on the south bank of the Mississippi in New Orleans. Pictured are William H.P. McLellan (d. 1895) and two of his sons, Alden and Orris. "Azeal" in the body of the article must mean "Asahel," the other living brother. This is taken from "Old Algiers" by Richard Remy Dixon, page 57. |
