Note: In 1875, Jackson & Sharp expanded into the shipbuilding industry after purchasing the Christina River Shipyards. In 1901, the company was acquired by the American Car and Foundry Company (ACF), which refocused efforts on the exportation of rail cars. ACF leased the Wilmington, Delaware plant for $25,000 per year until February 1911, when they bought the factory for $500,000. The company increased its focus on shipbuilding during World War I, and by the 1930s, had ceased production of rail cars.
