Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te tau 1905, i hokona e Robert S. Moore, tona tuakana a Joseph A. Moore, me John Thomas Scott te National Iron Works i te waahanga o Hunter's Point o San Francisco, ka whakatuhia he kamupene hou, te Moore & Scott Iron Works Moore i mua ko te perehitini tuarua o te Risdon Iron Works o San Francisco. Ko Scott te whanaunga o Henry T. me Irving M. Scott, nga rangatira o te Union Iron Works tata, i eke a John mai i te akonga ki te kaiwhakahaere. I whakangaromia to rātau pakihi hou e te ahi i puta mai i te
Te ruu o San Francisco. I hohoro te ora, a, i hoki mai ki te pakihi i mua i te mutunga o te tau 1906 ma te hoko i te Boole & Sons shipyard i Union Street i Oakland.
