SALEM'S GOLDEN AGE
Connected to the sea since its founding, Salem at the dawn of the republic turned again to the horizon for opportunities. With British law no longer restricting America's sailors to established trading partners, Salem's ship captains and crews trail blazed connections with new and far away lands. So prolific were Salem's ships in distant ports, the city was sometimes mistaken for its own nation. In the process of seeking these new lands, Salem became one of America's most prosperous cities, changing the character of the city and country forever. You will see the many remnants of this lucrative past.
