height Of their prosperity. In SO DO
Ing, they cite Salem as good exam
Die of what i venturesome people may
gain up~1 the sea.
Salem at one time stood at the head
of the cities Of the United States In
the value of its imports.
In 1912 it had 125 ships in the deep
water trade, and Of these, So were
East Indiamen. These vessels brought
home cargoes Of fabulous richness
silks, indigo, spices. ivory and other
products Of the far East.
There are old people living in Salem
who remember when the city's ancient
warehouses were full Of ''hemp from
Luzon, pepper from Sumatra, coffee
from Arabia, palm oil from the west
coast of Africa, cotton from Bombay,
duck and iron from the Baltic. tallow
from Madagascar, salt from Cadiz,
wine from Portugal nd the Madeiras'
figs, raisins and almonds from the
Mediterranean; teas and silks from
China; rum, sugar and molasses from
the West Indies; ivory and gum-copal
from Zanzibar; rubber, hides and wool
from South America, whale oil from the
Arctic AMI Antarctic, and the sperm
from the South Seas"
Salem ships were pioneers In open
ing new routes of commerce. Salem
merchants were the first to bring pep
per from Sumatra, rubber from South
America and coffee from Mocha. The
Salem ship Recovery, Capt. John
Ropes, was the coffee pioneer, and be-
tween the landing Of her first cargo OF
the fragrant berry in 1898 and loOo'
Salem imported not less than l2'OOV.-
600. pounds of Mocha coffee.
Salem men were perhaps no more
active than other American deep-water
sailors of the period but their records
were better kept.
Examining the causes OF Salems
great fame won upon the sea. recent
historian Of the merchant marine found
that 1t was mot in her harbor nor In
her store of shipbuilding timber. Z.
