Summary:

Salem was a centre for the international shipping trade. The ships carried native products, such as dried fish, lumber, cotton, butter, beef, and tobacco, along with rum and molasses from the West Indies, to ports all over the world. These were traded for luxury goods such as tea, coffee, sugar, pepper, and Indian cotton textiles.
