at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - By the end of the second decade of
the last century Monday Port had passed the height of prosperity as
one of the principal depots for the West Indian trade. The shipping
was rapidly being transferred to New York and Boston, and the old
families of the Port, having made their fortunes, in rum and
tobacco as often as not, were either moving away to follow the
trade or had acquiesced in the changed conditions and were settling
down to enjoy the fruit of their labours. The harbour now was
frequently deserted, except for an occasional coastwise trader; the
streets began to wear that melancholy aspect of a town whose good
days are more a memory than a present reality; and the old stage
roads to Coventry and Perth Anhault were no longer the arteries of
travel they once had been.
