This company undertook the first harbor improvements and built the first pier and break- water to provide an enclosed and safe harbor with deep water. About 10 years later the com- pany became known as the Port Oshawa Harbor Company. EI- der Henry was the first harbor master and held that post until he died in 1879. He was suc- ceeded then by J. 0. Guy, a member of another pioneer fam- fly of the harbor district. In 1852, three men who had settled near the Whitby Harbor, John Welsh, John Watson and James Rowe, formed a com- pany known as the Whitby Lake Scugog, Simcoe and Huron Road Company. This company bought the Whitby harbor and the road leading to if. Soon after, they also acquired the Oshawa Har- bor and continued the work on its improvement. At this time the harbor at Oshawa was of great value to the whole surrounding district. In the early 1850's when grain brought as high as $2.00 per bushel, in the Crimean War era of 1854 to 1856, when Canadian wheat sold at $3 a bushel in the markets of Europe and later in the American Civil War when the demand for Canadian prod- uce was insistent, Oshawa har- bor was a busy place and it prospered.
