About this title: As the title suggests, this tale of improbabilities chronicles the dream of Frederic Tudor, a Boston entrepreneur from the 19th century, who envisioned an ice market in the Caribbean, India, and other warm climes, supplied by his ice farm up north. THE FROZEN WATER TRADE looks into the science of freezing, its suggested economic impact, and the obstacles Tudor faced, including run-ins with pirates, in this tragic and comedic history.
