Among the hundreds of North American merchantmen active in Atlantic trade in the middle decades of the eighteenth century, the square-rigged …
Shaping Atlantic Commerce, 1650–1696

Following its victory in the English Civil War, the Commonwealth set about expelling the Dutch from colonial trade.

Transnational Trade in the Wartime North Atlantic: The Voyage of the Snow Recovery
The voyage of a small ocean-going trading vessel, of a type known as a snow, provides a window into the world of wartime commerce in the late colonial period.
