to the innocent and poor . . . enemy
to outlaw;* and men of greed . . .

YANKEE TRADE®]
FLOATING
STORES
-ynyay''-
While the sailing' ships of European nations saw little
reason to stop at the scattered coast towns and ranchos
of Old California, shrewd Yankee traders out of Boston
made each tiny hamlet a port of call.
Suspicious of these strangers at first, only
the bravest Californios would venture out
to visit the ships, while their wives and
children prayed for their safe return.
But when they discovered they would he
treated fairly, entire families came on
board to admire the long trim ships with
the clouds of canvas overhead.

Below decks they discovered regular shops,
set up and Mocked with precious items
such as silks, silver, jewelry, and perfumes.
These were rare items in California.
In retxirn for these wares the Californios
traded hides and tallow from their ranches
in the hills ... a profitable exchange for
both sides.And California trade was born.
