The History of Ice in India

Frederick tudor started shipping ice to india in 18 33. The british population of colcutta raised money for ice houses under the understanding that some of the ice stored there would be reserved for medical use. By 18 56, ice companies in new england were sending 150 thousand tons of ice to forty three nations. And similar businesses had sprung up in other cold weather parts of the country as well. He was nearly unaffected by the panic of 18 37, or by the start of the civil war, completely stopping his shipping to southern ports.
