Excerpt from The Marine Room of the Peabody Museum of Salem The site chosen for Salem in 1626 decided its maritime character; the fishing industry and the building of vessels began almost with the settlement. Before 1650 Salem vessels were trading in Virginia, the Bermudas, the West Indies and in England. Josselyn in 1664 says that in Salem are some very rich merchants. The vessels before 1700 were of forty tons displacement or less, although one ship is recorded of 200 tons.
