Book
Hardcover. Condition: used. In the tradition of Cod by Mark Kurlansky, a remarkable book about a long-forgotten historical phenomenon that changed our world - the rise and fall of the natural ice industry in nineteenth-century North America. 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 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 fulfill his dream. Over 30 years, he and his rivals extended the "frozen water trade" to Cuba, Charleston, New Orleans, New York, and London, and finally to Calcutta, when in 1833 more than one hundred tons of ice survived a four-month voyage of 16,000 miles with two crossings of the Equator. 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 homemade ice cream became essential to the American way of life, and cooled the brows of communities throughout the world long before artificial refrigeration - after which the frozen-water trade melted away. In this fascinating book, Gavin Weightman reveals the forgotten story of America's vast natural ice trade, which revolutionized domestic life for millions of people. Gavin Weightman is a journalist, author, and documentary filmmaker. He lives in London with his wife, the illustrator Clare Beaton, and their son, Tom.

Hardcover. Condition: VG+. Dust Jacket Condition: VG+. Photos, Art, Maps (illustrator). 1st. 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. First edition of 2001, with 200 pages including index, 29 b/w illustrations in two collations, including photos, technical drawings, some art and portraits, double page of maps. Blue hard covers with gilt spine titles VG+, small section cut from top corner FFEP, text block otherwise excellent, no inscriptions, colour art/picrorial DJ is VG+.

Hardback. 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 which the frozen water trade melted away, leaving little to show that it had ever existed. In this fascinating book Gavin Weightman reveals the forgotten story of America's vast natural ice trade, which revolutionised domestic life for millions of people. Hardback 2001. First edition, first printing. A good copy in a very good d/w.
