Filed in Portraits--Moran, Robert

Robert Moran (1857-1943) was born in New York City. He worked as a logging camp cook, deckhand, steamship fireman, and chief engineer before opening a machine and marine repair shop on Yesler's Wharf in Seattle with his two younger brothers. This business was wiped out in 1889 in Seattle's Great Fire. Robert Moran was mayor of Seattle at the time. He rallied Seattle's citizens to rebuild -- with brick and stone this time. The result survives today as Pioneer Square. Despite heavy losses, the Moran Brothers company almost immediately began to rebuild a greatly enlarged marine repair and shipbuilding facility on its own tideland property south of its original location. From this plant flowed river, Sound and seagoing ships, including the first steel vessels to be built on Puget Sound, with the launching of the first class battleship NEBRASKA in 1904 standing as its mightiest achievement. As mayor, Robert Moran was also instrumental in construction of a gravity water system for Seattle with a source at Cedar River, now known as the Cedar River Watershed. Moran State Park on Orcas Island is named for Robert Moran.
