Does anyone know the name or location of iron foundries that produced those  
large iron cauldrons called trypots used in the whaling industry? And, 
assuming  someone does, do they still exist? A colleague of mine works at a 
California  State Park and would like to replicate a trypot that Roman Catholic 
missionaries  used to make tallow for candles in the early 19th century. I said I 
would ask  around.
