This factory was the first to develop the copper paints that kept barnacles from sticking to the hulls of ships. in the 1800s this was one of the most critical inventions that permitted ships to sail faster and longer without having to be brought out the water to be scrapped clean of barnacles. The time and money saved made Gloucester a leader in this area.
