Century Memorial
Horace See was a Philadelphian by birth and though he lived long in this city his connections with Pennsylvania remained close and constant. He had a sound school education and the training of the shop. Rising to ever higher tasks by reason of his strong mind and inventive genius, he became a marine engineer and naval architect of high renown. He was a member of nine technical societies, holding important office in some, and of two social organizations. He had been twelve years an associate of ours when he died at seventy-seven [sic: seventy-four]. A man quite out of the common, a product of practical life, strong in mind, quick in discernment, he was an ornament of his profession.
