About Salem Maritime National Historical Park
The Salem Maritime National Historical Park is a national historical park consisting of 12 historic structures, one replica tall-ship, and about 9 acres (36,000 m2) of land along the waterfront of Salem Harbor in Salem, Massachusetts, United States. The park was created on March 17, 1938 as Salem Maritime National Historic Site, the first to be established in the United States. It interprets the Triangle Trade during the colonial period, in cotton, rum, sugar and slaves; the actions of privateers during the American Revolution; and global maritime trade with the Far East, after independence.
