On February 13, 1806, The Brig Favorite Left Boston Harbor Bound For The Caribbean Island Of Martinique With A Cargo That Few Imagined Would Survive The Monthlong Voyage. Packed In Hay In The Hold Were Large Chunks Of Ice Cut From A Frozen Massachusetts Lake. This Was The First Venture Of A Young Boston Entrepreneur, Frederic Tudor, Who Believed He Could Make A Fortune Selling Ice To People In The Tropics.Ridiculed At The Outset, Tudor Endured Years Of Hardship Before He Was To Fulfill His Dream. Over The Years, He And His Rivals Extended The Frozenwater Trade To Havana, Charleston, New Orleans, London, And Finally To Calcutta, Where In 1833 More Than One Hundred Tons Of Ice Survived A Fourmonth Journey Of 16,000 Miles With Two Crossings Of The Equator. The Frozenwater Trade Is A Fascinating Account Of The Birth Of An Industry That Ultimately Revolutionized Domestic Life For Millions Of People.
