A person who manufactures chains, especially metal chains for industrial or maritime use.
From English 'chain' + 'maker' (from Old English 'macian', to make). The term emerged as a recognized trade in the medieval period.
Chainmakers in Britain's Industrial Revolution developed such efficient techniques that they became so valuable to maritime powers that governments actually regulated chain-making as a strategic resource.
