vast concourse of citizens ... lined the streets of Salem, Massachusetts, on 14 October 1825 to watch a procession held by the shipmasters of the East India Marine Society (EIMS). The occasion was the dedication of a new building for the society's museum, then a quarter century old. Winding its way past brightly decorated buildings, the cavalcade was preceded by an elaborate palanquin in which sat a Salemite dressed out as an Indian prince. Other mariners and merchants in Asian attire carried trade goods from the Orient or curiosities for the museum
