Bates Gave City Name of Clipper city in Early Days BUILT MANY OF FIRST BOATS HERE William Wallace Bates, pioneer shipbuilder of this city, later U.S. Commissioner of Navigation and notes as a marine authority was buried at Denver, Co., Wed., following his death at the home of his daughter, Dr. Mary Bates, in that city Sunday. Mr. Bates, who left Manitowoc many years ago, was 85 years old at his death. Mr. Bates was a son of the late Stephen Bates, who was one of Manitowoc's earliest shipbuilders and the son was identified with his father in the building of many early day vessels here. At the age of 18, with his father, he located here and the two built the schooner, Challenge, the first clipper schooner to sail the lakes and it was due to the Bates boats that Manitowoc was given its early name of Clipper city. Among other boats which Mr. Bates assisted in building here were the Sea Gem, the schooner, Baensch, propellers Sunbeam and Union, both built for the Goodrich Co., the Clipper City and others. In 1854 to 1858, Mr. Bates was editor and half owner of the Nautical Magazine and Naval Journal of New York and it was at this time he gained a reputation as an authority on marine matters. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he enlisted n the Union Army but was forced to leave the service in 1862 by health. For fifteen years, Mr. Bates was in the shipbuilding and dry docks business at Chicago, as head of the Chicago Ship Building Co., and at that time prepared a time book and rules for building of lake boats which became a standard work. He was engaged in building and dry dock in Portland, Ore., for the Northern Pacific railway. In 1881 to 1883 and later he was manager of the inland Lloyds at Buffalo. Mr. Bates in 1889 was appointed United States Commissioner of Navigation by President Harrison and served until compelled to resign by failing health in 1892. His book, "The American Marine" was published in 1892 and was followed by "American Navigation" in 1902. In 1907, Mr. Bates organized the American Shipbuilding Society and was president of that organization at the time of his death. Mr. Bates married Marie Cole in Saratoga, New York in 1851. His wife died in Denver about ten years ago. He is survived by two children, Lindon Wallace Bates, one of the best known of modern engineers with headquarters in London and Dr. Mary E. Bates of Denver. Mr. Bases was a Mason and Odd Fellow and a member of the G.A.R. News of Mr. Bates death was received here in copies of Denver papers received Thursday.
