I am attempting to map a site in Westport, Essex County, containing a 
mid 19th century water powered bloomery. A deed of 1890 (ten years after 
the bloomery ceased operation) makes a reference to a property corner as 
being at “the bulkhead of W. P. and P. D. Merriam’s forge”. Can someone 
explain the relationship of a bulkhead to a forge for me?
