ISBN10: 0007102852, ISBN13: 9780007102853, [publisher: HarperCollins Publishers, United Kingdom, London] Softcover This work tells the story of the 19th-century ice trade, in which ice from New England - valued for its incredible purity - had a profound influence on international trade in fruit and fish and all kinds of perishable foodstuffs. In the days before refrigeration, the frozen water trade (blocks of ice cut from the lakes of New England) kept America, Britain and many parts of the Empire cool - and helped preserve all kinds of foodstuffs. Although the harvesting and preserving of ice and snow had provided the very wealthy with summer luxury as far back as the civilizations of Mesopotamia in 2000 BC, it was in post-colonial North America that the domestic use of ice, kept in refrigerator boxes and used to cool drinks, first became truly popular. The American fashion for drinks on the rocks spread to Britain in Victoria's reign - and then to British India. In the 1830s, schooners carried the frozen cargo, packed with sawdust and tarpaulins for insulation, to Bombay, Calcutta and Madras. In time, New England schooners took ice to China and Australia. The frozen water trade had a profound influence on the tastes of a large part of the world and stimulated the development of artificial cooling systems which eventually replaced it in the first quarter of the 20th century. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred b ...

ISBN10: 0007102852, ISBN13: 9780007102853, [publisher: harper collins] Hardcover On 13 February 1806 the brig Favorite Left Boston harbour bound for the Caribbean island of Martinique, with a cargo that a few imagined would survive the month-long sea voyage. Packed in hay in the hold were large chunks of ice harvested from a frozen Massachusetts lake. This was the first venture of a young Boston Merchant, Frederic Tudor, who imagined he could make a fortune selling ice to tropical countries. Ridiculed from the outset by fellow merchants, Tudor endured years of hardship before he was to fulfil his youthful dream. Over thirty years he and his rivals extended the 'frozen water trade' to Cuba, Charleston, New Orleans, New York and London and finally - to the astonishment and delight of the British Raj - to Calcutta, when in 1833 more than a hundred tons of ice survived a four-month voyage of 16,00 miles with two crossings of the Equator. For the next fifty years Calcutta, Bombay and Madras eagerly awaited their regular supplies of New England ice. Tudor not only made a fortune; he founded a huge industry which each winter employed thousands of men and horses to harvest millions of tons of ice. Thanks to his astonishing enterprise, iced drinks, chilled beer and home- made ice Cream became an essential part of the American way of life, and cooled the brows of colonial communities throughout the world long before artificial refrigeration became available - after wh ...

ISBN10: 0007102852, ISBN13: 9780007102853, [publisher: Harper Collins, London] Hardcover This is the astonishing and near-forgotten story of how a determined Boston merchant, Frederic Tudor, conceived and daveloped the export of winter ice from lakes in New England to the Carribean. the southern States of the US and as far afield as India. What is more amazing is that his icy cargoes were carried over vast distances in sailing ships. By the time the first shipments were despatched to India in 1833 Tudor had established the trade to the stage where ice was unloaded in Cuba, New York, the sourthern states and even London. His vision of ice exporting was ridiculed by his Boston merchant contemporaries. An exceptional account of one man's dream which became a phenomenal success, made him wealthy and respected and created work for thousands. By the early 1900s demand for nature's ice was diminishing as mechanical refrigeration was introduced.
