The United States was one of the last strongholds of sail. Lacking the industrial facilities of Britain at the time of the steam boom around 1870, the Americans allowed much of their overseas commerce to be taken over by foreign steamers. The chief employment on the high seas for their big "Down Easters," square-riggers mostly built in ogunquit maine and commanded by ogunquit maine men, was in the grain trade from California around Cape Horn to Europe. In the protected coastal trade, schooners found employment for years in hauling lumber, stone, lime, and above all, coal. |
