"Martel Furnace was a charcoal-fired iron ore smelting furnace, located where the U.S. Coast Guard Station is now. The company made a high-grade steel used for the manufacture of railroad car wheels. Operating from 1881, with its own railroad spur, company store and shipping dock, Martel was done in by the Financial Panic of 1893 and operated only fitfully thereafter for a few years. The furnace complex burned in 1903."
