While the former provide pattern, the latter give texture. Objects that directly link people to historical events allow us to touch the past. Some are very personal connections between indi- viduals and their ancestors. Others are the touch- stones of our collective memory. Buried in the sand of Lake Superior is the USS ESSEX, an artifact of the nation’s maritime past. A mid- nineteenth-century sloop of war designed by one of America’s foremost naval architects, Donald McKay, the ESSEX traveled around the world and ultimately came to rest on Duluth’s Minnesota Point, about as far from the ocean as a vessel can get.

  • The China Trade, 1830 to 1860
    Early American Trade with China Early American Trade with China THE CHINA TRADE, 1830 TO 1860 In the years following the American Revolution, speed was the most important consider- ation for any ship even if it came at the expense of cargo space. Sailing ships tended to be small and swift so that they could outrun and outmaneuver British, French, or pirate vessels trying to capture them. By 1830, this threat had largely been eliminated, and a new type of clipper ship was developed. From 1841 through 1860, “extreme clippers” dominated the trade to Asia. These ships were large, carrying huge, lucrative cargoes of tea, spices, textiles, and chinaware to consumers in America and Europe. By the 1830s, trade routes were well estab- lished between the United States and China, and the names of ports in the Eastern hemi- sphere, once exotic and mysterious, were becoming increasingly familiar to Americans as places of importance to the United States’ economy. During the decades preceding and during the Civil War, the United States was largely focused on domestic matters and sectionalism rather than foreign policy. But it was also during this time that Americans, who had spent most of their history looking towards the East Coast and Europe, began to see the strategic and economic importance of developing the West Coast and maintaining shipping routes to the Far East. During the late 1850s, the United States’ trade with China declined. Domestic manufactures produced in factories in the rapidly industrializing northern states were replacing imports: cotton replaced nankeen, and American pottery factories replicated Chinese designs on porcelain, and coffee imported from central and South America was replacing Chinese tea.

  • AN OUTCAST of the ISLANDS by JOSEPH CONRAD Pues
    AN OUTCAST OF THE ISLANDS BY JOSEPH CONRAD Pues el delito mayor Del hombre es haber nacito --CALDERON TO EDWARD LANCELOT SANDERSON [page intentionally blank] AUTHOR'S NOTE "<i>An Outcast of the Islands</I>" is my second novel in the absolute sense of the word; second in conception, second in execution, second as it were in its essence. There was no hesitation, half-formed plan, vague idea, or the vaguest reverie of anything else between it and "<i>Almayer's Folly</I>." The only doubt I suffered from, after the publication of "<i>Almayer's Folly</I>," was whether I should write another line for print. Those days, now grown so dim, had their poignant moments. Neither in my mind nor in my heart had I then given up the sea. In truth I was clinging to it desperately, all the more desperately because, against my will, I could not help feeling that there was something changed in my rela- tion to it. "<i>Almayer's Folly</I>," had been finished and done with. The mood itself was gone. But it had left the memory of an experience that, both in thought and emotion was unconnected with the sea, and I sup- pose that part of my moral being which is rooted in consistency was badly shaken. I was a victim of contrary stresses which produced a state of immobility. I gave myself up to indolence. Since it was impossible for me to face both ways I had elected to face nothing. The discovery of new values in life is a very chaotic experience; there is a tremendous amount of jostling and confusion and a momentary feeling of darkness.
