intention of including it as a part of the Historic Structures ^eport

on Derby Wharf and Warehouses j but because of the volume of material ed foundthis information is herewith presentías su supplement to |piid

Historic Structure Report. T^e writer has compiled "Vessels, Voyages,

Masters, and Ports of Gall" with the that this study w ill l

(10 provide National Park Service interpreters with an abundance

of aiccurate data to be used in telling the story of Derby Wharf, and

(2),to provide an advanced and solid base from which further research

into the mercantile operations of Elias Hasket Derby car. be launched

at some, future date.

The report has been divided inte seven parts as follcws:

Section I. using statistics to document his case, tlje writer

has attempted to eyplain precisely why Salem and Elias Hasket Derby

were truly of national significance in the foreign commerce of the

United States during the period 1781|-17??o

Section II is a chronological listing of virtually ever;' trading vessel that Elias Hasket Derby dispatched from Derby Wharf, Salem, from Jnne 1, 1785 until August 17?9. T^e list shows how many vessels went out each year, provides the dates.- of loading, and the names of ¿St vessels, their masters, and their destinations. Summary charts reveal faoos^cf how long Derby owned- each vessel, the number of voyages each boat made, A and the total numbers and types of vessels by Uerby from the end of the War for Independence until his death on September 8,17??.

Utilizing the data presented in section II it is quite feasible to calculate when and what vessels must have been tied up at Derby Q Wharf .taking on for evjry each year from 1785 to 179?.

The foreign commerce of the United States from colonial times to 1815 was the p rin c ip a l trad e of America and the

chief source of profit0 It was moneys gained from this foreign commerce that provided most of the capital needed for the further development of commerce, transportation, and manufacturing in the

new Republic. Prior to l 8l£, the largest fortunes in the United

States were made by merchants engaged in foreign commerce and these

were the men who usually provided the captial and acted central

organizing agents for increased handicraft production, the domestic

system, and the system* s h if t After 1815, however, there was a profound sft^^in the

nature of American commerce* The relative importance of foreign

commerce, viewed in the lig h t of n ational growth, rapidly declined

and was replaced by the immense rise and development of internal

or (domestic commerce* Thus while the total foreign commerce of

the United States increased almost 16 times — from ?U3, 000,000 in

$1790 to $687, 000,000 in i 860, the total internal commerce of the

United States succeeded in reaching a grand total value estimated in the neighborhood of $ £,600,000,000 by l8£l-2. Curing this period the value of American manufactures also increased from $ 199,000,000

in 1810 to about $ 1 , 8£8, 000,000 in i 860.

FQP.ET3N COMMERCE, 1 7 8 ^ - l 8lg

Following the War for Independence the American merchant marine and its export trade underwent a. period of severe readjustment, for

American vessels and merchants were excluded from the markets of

Britain, , the , Portugal, and Spain under the

- 6 - m ercantilistic economic poli&ies followed by those countries*

The new and weak American Confederacy of 13 States was unable to

retaliate in kind| and American merchants were thus forced to seek

for markets outside of western . Among the most important

and successful of these merchants pioneering new routes and

markets was Elias Hasket ^erby of Salem, Massachusetts. In June

1781; he sent his Light Horse to St. Petersburg, . His

was the first American vessel to enter the Baltic and to begin the

trad e with Russia and Sweden. 3n November 178k Derby dispatched

his Grand Turlc (i) on the first trading voyage from Salem to

th e Cape of J^Iiood Hope, South A frica. In December 1785 he sent the

Grand Turk, under the command of Captain Jonathan Ingersoll, from

Salem via the Cape of Good Hope on the first American voyage to the

Isle of France (now Mauritius) in the Indian Ocean. From there

in 1786 the Grand Turk proceeded to Canton, . Derby's

ship was the first New and the second American vessel

to reach China. The Grand Turk returned to Salem with a cargo of tea,

silks, and nankeens in June 1787, but even before its arrival, Derby

had sent out two , Light Horse and Three Sisters, for the Orient,

thus beginning the American trade with the East Indies0

The first American vessel to reach port in was the

Chesapeake, from Baltimore, sombtime between 1786 and 1787^-lftit Derby

was not fa r behind. In December 1787 he dispatched h is ship Grand

Turk, this time under the command of his 21 year old son, Elias H.

Derby, Jr., to Isle of France. From there the son proceeded

1. The Empress of China, sailing from New Fork City,, made the first visit of an American vessel to Canton, China, in 178U.

- 7 - to India where he remained three yeargund laid the foundations of the

extensive trade subsequently developed by his father«, lh 1788 the

Derby ship Peggy loaded with cotton at Bombay and then returned to Salem

on June 21, 1789 with the first American cargo of Indian cotton. In 1789

Derby’s vessels visited the Indian ports of of Surat, ¡Madras, and Calcutta, In 1789 and also carried cotton from Bombay to Canton. ship Astrea, commanded by Captain James. I-fegee, also called at Rangoon and was the first American

vessel to visit Siam. This new trade with Asia and the

was a source of very large profits to a few American merchants.

In this search for new American markets, John Kendrick in

the Columbia and Robert Gray in the lady , both out of Boston,

September 30,1787,. were the first American vessels to visit the Pacific

Northwest coast in 1788 and also the Russian waters off Alaska, where they began the trade with the Indians and Russians for otter skins. On August

0 $ 9 , 1790, the Columbia, commanded by Captain Robert Gray, returned to 2 Boston after having completed the first American voyage around the world.

Finally, in 1796 Elias Iiasket Derby’s ship Astrea,II , made the first

American visit to m nilia in the Philippines.

A fter 1789# however, the new Federal Government of th e

United States, aided by the outbreak of the French Revolution and war in Europe, was able to to reopen western European markets to American

merchants on favorable terms. During the Napoleonic Wars that raged

in Europe from 1795 to 1815, the British, Dutch, French, and Spanish

merchant marines were largely destroyed by the warring powers 0

Among the'six men who financed the voyage of the Columbia was John Derby, a Boston merchant and son of Elias Basket Derby. Samuel E. Prison, The iferitimo History of Ifcssachusetts, 1783-1860(Boston, 19J.I.1), P.U6-I4.7 «, 9

The lilted States, acting as a neutral in this terrible contest, impartially

sold goods to both sides. 3h this process the American merchant and marine engrossed most of the carrying trade between Europe idj^afr the

French and Spanish colonies in the Western Hemisphere, between Great

Britian and Canada and the , most of the trade between Europe

and South Africe, India, the East ^KCndies, and China. This "Golden

Age" of American commerce la s te d from 179$ to December 1807, when President

Thomas Jefferson’s Federal embargo halted a ll American foreign trade for

1 $ months and then the War of 1812 stopped all trade except from prizes of

the American privateers for nearly three years0

During this period of unparalleled prosperity, American

tonnage registered for the foreign trade jumped from 123,893 tons in

1789 to 1 , 089,000 by 1808 and the percentage of the value of all goods

in transit to the United States, carried by American vessels, increased

from U0.$ percent in 1790 to 90 percent by 179$, and amounted to 92 percent

in 1807. Similarly, the combined export-irport trade of the United

S tates leaped from $ U3,000,000 in 1790 to $2l;6,000,000 T^fe&y 1807*

More than 10 percent of the total American tonnage registered

for the foreign trade in 1790, e .g . 13,726 tons and 121; vessels, came 3 from the port of Salem, Massachusetts, then a city of about 9, 000. Salem’s Vessels and Tonnage, 1790!

Salem and the Foreign Commerce of the United States, 1808-1860

After the depression in foreign coiamerce caused by the Embargo^

and War of 1812, American foreign trade again expanded. The

total foreign trade of the United States reached on average of $186,000,000

a year for the period 1816-20, and then more than trebled by i 860, when

it averaged $616,000,000 a year for the period 1856-60. American tonnage

registered for the foreign trade also increased from 67U,633 tons in 181!;

to 2,379,390 tons in l860o During this same period, however, the percentage

of value of foreign trade goods carried in American vessels dropped from

92.5 percent in 1826 to ^*only 66.5 percent by i860. This latter trend

indicated that the American merchant marine was beginning to lose its grip

on the foreign carrying trade of the United States.

As in colonial times, agriculture contained to supply

about 80 percent of the products exported to foreign countimes.

Goods manufactured in the United States, however, increased their

total percentage in foreign trade from about 7 percent in 1810 to

Banks, Insurance, and Elias Hasket Derby

From colonial times to i860, the balance of payments in the foreign commerce of the United States favored the Northern merchants,, who owned and operated the shipping, and marketed the goods.

As a result of their extensive trading activities the merchants of

Philadephia, , Boston, Charleston, S.C., Newport, R .I., and Salem, Mass., accumulated considerable amounts of fluid and surplus capital that they actively employed in the further expansion of commerce

and the development of industry. The merchant-capitalists were

particularly important in this role because there were no banks or 15 bankers in the United States prior to 1780. In addition,

after 178U these merchant-capitalists also provided much of the 16 insurance and credit.

15. The first bank in the United States, the Pensylvania Bank at Philadelphia, was chartered in June 1780. The second, the Bank of North America, also a t Fniladelphia, was founded in December 1781 to help the American government finance the War for Independence. The next two banks, the Massachusetts Bank at Boston^ and Bank of New York a t New York C ity, were both chartered in 1781;. By 1798 there was a grand total of 22 banks with a total authorised capital of about $ 15,250,000 in the United States0 The chief functions of these banks was toy^j^ fe^. provide merchants with credit for financing the expanding foreign commerce. Twelve of these banks were located in , eight were in the Middle States, and two in the Southern States. The first bank was incorporated in Salem, Pkss., in 1803. By 1811 the United States had a total of 89 barks.

16. Fire insurance originated in America# in 1752, when the Fniladelphia Contributorship for the Insurance of Houses from Loss by Fire was formed by a group of businessmen. The second such company-T’ne Mutal Assurance Company- was also organized in Philadelphia in 1781;. Prior to 1790 American ship owners had purchased most of their marine insurance in Great Britain. In 179U the Insurance Company of North America, with an authorized capital of $ 600,000 and headquarters at Philadelphia, was chartered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Marine insurance thereafter multiplied rabidly.

Elias Basket Derby played a role as a merchant-

capitalist. Hie loaned large sums of money to the Ifessachusetts

government to finance the War for Independence and later to help

launch the fe d e ra l Government under the new c o n stitu tio n .

Writing to Congressman BenjGoodhue on Fenruaiy 3,

1790, Derby mentioned: "Ah thetime of Lexington battle(1775) ,

I loaned to government a large proportion of the supplies for tne

army, and took their obligations for so much specie, which

obligations I have by me...." In the summer of 1778 when ifejcr

General John Sullivan marched a force of 7#000 Ifessachusetts m ilitia

to in an effort to retake Newport, Derby supplied the

American troops with boats to cross from the mainland to the island

on which Hewport stands, and later also supplied the French fleet 17 involved in the same campaign with coal.

-65 — X/J tHoclvcnov %i ¿'¿J^ 90 , The principal trade rputes of the period I 78I4.-I815 were across the North Atlantic, to the West Indies, and to South America, as in colonial, times* To Fortug3l, Spain, and France in Southern Europe the Northern States sent fish and lumber, which were sold for coin, b ills of exchange, or southern European produce* These proceeds were then carried to Qreat Frita in and there used to pay for northern imports of British manufactured goods* To the Canary and Maderia Islands the northern merchants sent fish, lumber and pr oils ions, which were exchanged for wine. Part of the wine was carried back to the United States and part was shipped to * Great Britain, where its sale enabled the northern traders to ob&Mn additional purchasing power for ^ritish manufactured goodso An even more important trad e was carried on between the northern merchants and the West Indies* Northern exports to these islands consisted of fish, horses, lumber, wheat, flour, biscuit, beef, pork, bacon, peas, and Indian corn. For this they received coin, sugar, molasses, nun, indigo, dyewoods, fustic, cotton, wool, and salt* The West Indies also paid for imports with bills of exchange drawn on English merchants* Ifcst of those commodities were shipped to England and there exchanged for English manufactured goods** Rum and molasses wKere carried back to the northern states where they were used in the fur trade, the slave trade, the New England fishery, and the Newfoundland trade —* in each instance enabling the northerners to ob/tain additional remittances to Qreat Britain* The northern merchants further increased their buying power by earning freight charges and profits on the cargoes they carried directly to Qreat ^ritain from the We3t Indies, the Canary Islands, Madeira, and Southern Europe* in Section I of this report, 3h ad d itio n , as has beon noted^new ro u te s, 178U-1789 , were opened with the Baltic, South Africa, India, the Butch Eart Indies, China, and the Pacific Coast of North America*
