At that time it was a survival of former customs. Ship building had its real beginning in 1802, but distilling was begun long before, and the cracker baking was an important industry. There were several docks, or inlets from the river, where molasses was unloaded to supply the four distilleries, which were running on full time. But one of these buildings now remains, the garage on Riverside avenue. Another, long used as the railroad engine house, has just been demolished, making place for the new and imposing (?) passenger station. A large lumber yard, with its old tide mill and wha
