Old Shipping Days In Boston is a historical non-fiction book written by the State Street Trust Company and published in 1918. The book provides an in-depth look at the maritime history of Boston, Massachusetts, from the early days of the colony to the early 20th century. The State Street Trust Company, a financial institution in Boston, compiled the book to celebrate the city's rich shipping heritage and to honor the men and women who played a key role in the development of the city's shipping industry. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Boston's maritime history. The first chapter provides a brief overview of the city's early years and its growth as a trading center. The second chapter delves into the development of the shipping industry in Boston, including the rise of the clipper ship and the city's role in the transatlantic trade. The third chapter focuses on the merchants and shipowners who played a key role in the city's shipping industry, while the fourth chapter looks at the sailors and other workers who made it all possible. Other chapters in the book cover topics such as the impact of the Civil War on Boston's shipping industry, the growth of the city's steamship trade, and the decline of the industry in the early 20th century. The book is filled with photographs and illustrations that help bring the city's maritime history to life, and it includes detailed information about many of the most important ships, ports, and individuals associated with Boston's shipping industry. Overall, Old Shipping Days In Boston is a fascinating and informative book that provides a comprehensive look at one of the most important aspects of Boston's history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the city's maritime heritage, as well as for anyone interested in the history of American shipping and trade.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
