From Vernon Briggs’ History and Genealogy of the Briggs Family:42
    Capt. Elijah Barstow learned the art of shipbuilding in his father’s yard on the North River, and while still a young man he saided the seas in command of a vessel built by his father’s firm. He followed his father’s and grandfather’s calling of shipbuilding on North River. After his marriage to Caroline O. Briggs they lived for a few years in the old Stockbridge house at Hanover, which stood on the stie of that of Edmund Q. Sylvester [1931]. In 1841 he went to East Boston, where he began shipbuilding on his own account. Here he built the barque Sparton, 196 tons, for Provincetown, and the ship Columbia, 329 tons, for Charles and Henry Coffin of Nantucket (which was condemned at Upola in 1861). In 1842 he built a vessel which he names after his sons, Albert Henry, which was commanded by his brother, Capt. Andrew Barstow. On 22 June 1842 his father died and he returned to the old homestead in Scituate. He resumed shipbuilding at his father’s yard in Hanover in 1844, and two years later built his last vessel in Hanover (the schooner Deane) before removing to Fox Hill with Capt. Thomas B. Waterman. The firm of Barstow & Waterman continued until 1869, when they launched their last vessel, the schooner Hope On, and Captain Barstow retired, owing to the burning of his workshop and other losses. (For an extended account of the vessels built by Capt. Elijah Barstow see “Shipbuilding on the North River.”) After retiring from shipbuilding, Capt. Elijah Barstow conducted his large farm for the remainder of his life.
