Henry Hutchins (1819–1889)[1] was an American merchant shipwright during a prolific period at Yarmouth Harbor in Maine.[2] His shipyard was one of the four major ones during the town's peak years, between 1850 and 1875.
In 1851,[3] [4] Hutchins went into partnership with Edward J. Stubbs, forming Hutchins & Stubbs.[5] They launched over 21 vessels at Yarmouth's harbor between 1866 and 1884,[6] including the three-mast barkentine Harriet S. Jackson.[7]
Hutchins was married to Harriet, with whom he lived at number 85 Pleasant Street (built in 1848) in Yarmouth.[8] She died on Christmas Eve, 1869, aged 43.[1] He remarried, to Tryphena (1830–1904).[1]
A son, Henry Jr., died in 1869, aged 13.
Hutchins died in 1889, aged 69 or 70. His wife, Tryphena, survived him by fifteen years.[1] He is interred, with both of his wives, in Yarmouth's Riverside Cemetery. They share a burial plot with the families of Captain Edwin W. Hill and Hermon Seabury.[1]
