Read 14 Oct 2026 in the Internet Archive's copy. On Boston's coasting trade with "the Eastward," the Maine coast:

  • The mast trade moved "from Portsmouth, N. H., to Portland, then Falmouth, Me., in 1727," and "continued at Portland until the Revolution, and brought a great access of business there" (p. 578).
  • Peter Faneuil's instructions of 1737: a Boston sloop coming home from Canso "must 'touch at the Eastward' coming home, for a lading of 'cordwood'" (pp. 614-615).
