    The True Spicy Story of Salem Massachusetts :
    old galeon and old harbor in Salem massachussets Usa
    When most people hear the words Salem, Massachusetts, they immediately think of the Salem Witch Trials. It’s true that the infamous witch trials did take place in 1692 and 1693 in what was then Salem Village. However, Salem has a much bigger legacy than the relatively short blip in history that represents the witch trials.
    Following the Revolutionary War, the young men of Salem were eager to try their hands at international trade. No longer were they reliant on the taxed imports of England. They were free to seek spices and teas from anywhere in the world. They just had to be brave enough to venture the high seas to procure them.
    One such man, Captain Jonathan Carnes, set sail from Salem with his crew to the far off land of Sumatra. They returned eighteen months later with the first imported spice, a cargo hold full of pepper. Captain Carnes was able to sell his pepper at a 700 percent markup, cementing his place as a master of commerce. Other ship owners followed suit, and in the last decade of the 1700s, Salem had become a famous seaport, valued for its access to spices the world over. Ships departing from Salem brought back spices from China, Sumatra, Japan and Russia.
    You can easily close your eyes and imagine the rich aromas that must have wafted from the bowels of the ships as they cruised into Salem. Wooden crates must have been filled to overflowing with turmeric, saffron, sugar cane, pepper and salt. The hulls must have groaned with the weight of those crates, stacked crooked and high by men whose hands were rough as sandpaper but whose hearts were light with thoughts of the money they would make if they could only reach home safely.
    Today, the streets of Salem are lined with the mansions of those ship captains who found the courage to combat the high seas in a time when they were swarming with pirates. There was no coast guard to come to their aid; no helicopter to pluck them from the frigid ocean. Those ship captains and their crew made their fortunes on the water and they earned every penny.
    If you visit Salem, you can visit some of the mansions that were home to the ship captains. Many have been turned into museums and either have original furnishings or replicas. You can see how the captains lived, see the floorboards where their patient wives must have paced, anxiously awaiting the return of their husbands.
    In Salem, you will also find some of the most unique spice shops in all of New England, a tribute to the spice industry that made Salem come alive after the ravages of the Revolutionary War nearly stopped our country before it began.
