Prashant H. Fadia Foundation truly brings to light the story of a group of
Salem Sea Captains, in 1799 who were amongst the first global entrepreneurs
of America, who established the East India Marine Society to foster trade
"beyond the Capes." Their efforts encouraged a brisk trade between
India and the United States in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth
centuries. Space is
