| 説明 | Corrigan family plot at Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland, Ohio. James Corrigan was was known as "one of the group of men who made Cleveland".Emigrating to the United States from Canada as a boy, he became a sailor on the Great Lakes. After sailing a boat that shipped refined petroleum, he became involved in petroleum refining in Cleveland and became wealthy. His early years in sailing led him into to the shipping industry as an adult, moving iron ore, grain, timber, and other goods on the Great Lakes. He sued John D. Rockefeller after Rockefeller seized his Standard Oil stock in repayment for mortgages on his vessels, co-founded the Lake Carriers Association, and won a lawsuit which successfully voided a common vessel insurance clause.He was an early investor in iron mines on the Mesabi, Gogebic, Marquette, Menominee, and Vermillion ranges. A small investment in an iron ore dealing businesses, taken in exchange for freight charges, was turned into Corrigan, McKinney & Co., one of the largest independent dealers in iron ore in the United States. He began vertically integrating the company, investing in five different iron smelting businesses before founding the steel firm Corrigan, McKinney Steel shortly before his death.An avid yachtsman, Corrigan lost nearly all his family when his luxury yacht, the Idler, sank in a storm off Cleveland in 1900. His country house became the Nagirroc farm, one of the historic estates of Lake County, Ohio. A multimillionaire at the time of his death, he left his wealth to family members. |
