George G. Sharp

The firm started with the design of excursion steamboats on the Delaware and Hudson rivers, then moved into oceangoing passenger and cargo shipping.

[5] Sharp prepared the working drawings for the Casablanca class escort carriers built by Henry J. Kaiser's California Shipbuilding Corporation in 1942–43.

[7] After World War II, the company developed a 17,000-ton luxury liner, the SS Del Norte, for service between New Orleans and the east coast of South America.

The Del Norte was built by the Ingalls Shipbuilding Corporation at Pascagoula, Mississippi and each room featured ocean views through casement windows.
