Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Lives of American Merchants, Vol. 2 Salem, fifteen miles east of Boston, is one of the most ancient settlements in the State, and before the Revolution was distinguished for its enterprise and commercial spirit. Embarking early in the fisheries and coastwise ™ building at first boats, sloops, and schooners, it gradually increased the size of its vessels, and sent them to the West Indies, Madeira, and the Mediterranean. Fish, oil, lumber, and provisions were exchanged for sugar, coffee, rum, and molasses, and these again were bartered for wine, fruit, silk, and iron, or bills of exchange on London. When the war of the Revolution checked the foreign trade, new models were adopted, and, in place of a navy, private armed ships were sent forth to encounter the British on the deep. Many of these met with brilliant success, in their conflicts on the ocean. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
