Behind Rhode Island's quiet harbours lay a restless trading empire. This classic colonial American history book uncovers how a small New England colony forged global links between 1726 and the eve of revolution. The Atlantic tide runs deep. Through ships' manifests, customs records and mercantile correspondence, Commerce Of Rhode Island 1726-1800 (Volume I) 1726-1774 maps the rise of the colonial Rhode Island economy within the wider eighteenth century Atlantic trade. From coastal exchanges to distant ventures, it traces patterns of New England mercantile trade, the rhythms of port life, and the commercial forces shaping pre revolutionary America and wider New England colonial history. At once narrative and rigorous economic history study, it stands among the most informative American colonial trade books for historians and curious general readers alike. In its close analysis of shipping routes, cargoes and credit networks, this maritime trade history offers a detailed portrait of Rhode Island trade 1726-1774 and its place in transatlantic exchange. Essential for historians and students, it also rewards any reader drawn to the drama of sails, risk and calculation on the open sea. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, this careful research reference edition belongs in every serious library of New England colonial history and economic history study.
