Joseph Harvey Ladew Sr. (April 10, 1865 – February 16, 1940) was one of the largest leather manufacturers in the world with Fayerweather & Ladew, and he was a yachtsman. [1] [2]
He was born on April 10, 1865, to Rebecca Krom (?-1905) and Harvey Smith Ladew I (?-1888) in Shokan, New York. [3] [4] [5] He attended Columbia School of Mines in 1885 and left the program to join the family run Fayerweather & Ladew in Glen Cove, New York. The company was started by his brother, Edward R. Ladew in 1898. [6] He became a partner in the company on February 1, 1889. [4] [7]
On November 27, 1901, he married Jennie Bennett House. [8] They had two children: Joseph Harvey Ladew Jr. (1905-?) and Oliver Ladew (1906-1979). Ladew died on February 16, 1940, at LeRoy Sanitarium in Manhattan. [2]
He had two yachts, both named Columbia built, the first built by Cramp Shipbuilding launched from Philadelphia on August 23, 1893. [9] [10] Turned over to the United States Navy for the Spanish–American War in 1898, the yacht was renamed the USS Wasp and was used in the blockade of Cuba. In 1909 the ship began a nine year long loan to the New York Naval Militia. [11] The yacht was brought back into active naval service 7 April 1917 for World War I service and continued in naval service until decommissioned at Norfolk on 1 December 1919.
In 1898 he ordered a new yacht from the Crescent Shipyard in Elizabethport, New Jersey, for $200,000. [12] The second Columbia, constructed in 1899 and delivered 1900, was designed for possible conversion to a naval auxiliary and modeled after the United States Coast Survey steamer Pathfinder that had been built in the same shipyard. [13] [14] In 1913 it was briefly impounded by the Japanese at Wakayama. [15] [16] That yacht served in World War I as HMCS Stadacona.
When the senior Ladew died in 1888, a brother, J. Harvey Ladew, acquired an interest in the business and became a member of the firm. ...
J. Harvey Ladew, wealthy leather merchant, well-known yachtsman and member of an old New York family, died on Friday at the LeRoy Sanitarium, 40 East Sixty-first Street, after an illness of nearly four months. His age was 73

Joseph Harvey Ladew, tanner, son of the late Harvey S. Ladew, a young man of good ability, was born in New York April 10, 1864 [sic].
J. Harvey Ladew, a member of the New York Yacht Club has had constructed at the Crescent shipyards, at Elizabethport, N. J., a yacht which is almost a duplicate of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey steamer Pathfinder. The name of the new yacht is Columbia, and the cost $200,000.
As was expected, the so-called seizure by the Japanese authorities of the yacht Columbia, owned by J. Harvey Ladew of New York, has proved to be less alarming than newspaper accounts at first made it appear. The yacht has not been detained and the prosecution of its Captain has been dropped.
