  • American Enterprise in the 19Th Century
    ANTH318 Nautical Archaeology of the Americas Class 24 th American Enterprise in the 19 Century Introduction During the 1800s, millions of Europeans made the New World their new homeland, and brought the technological revolution going on in Europe to America. In the beginning of the century, immigrants sailed in wooden ships that would take from 4 to 12 weeks to cover the distance between the two continents. By the end of the century, there were regular packet lines, and immense steam ships covered that distance in 5 days. Transatlantic telegraphic cables provided almost instantaneous inter-continental communications. During this time, the American merchant fleet sailed all the world's seas in search of new markets and products. Importing pepper, tea, silk, coffee, porcelain, fur, leather, wood, ivory, spices, iron, textiles, gum copal, and slaves, and exporting fish, lumber, textiles and leather goods, American ships crossed all the seas and helped to complete mapping the planet. The New England whaling fleet discovered more than 400 islands in the Pacific Ocean. Centered in New England in the beginning of the century, the American shipbuilding industry gained such a fine reputation that ships would be purchased with their cargo in foreign ports. Coastal trade During the 18th century, the coastal trade was carried on by sloops, ketches, and small square-rigged vessels. In the 19th century this trade, and some of the long sea trade, would be carried on two- masted schooners. The fore-and-aft rig was more weatherly, allowing better sailing angles into the wind, and required smaller crews since the sails were operated from the deck rather than aloft.
