Fox News
"Ice King" Frederic Tudor, of Boston, Massachusetts created a new industry by cutting ice from New England ponds then shipping it around the world, changing global commerce and tastes.
"The idea was received with derision by the whole town as a ‘mad project." "We hope this will not prove a slippery speculation." "The arrival of an ice ship at Calcutta is an exhilarating scene." Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
Tudor was a young entrepreneur from Boston, Massachusetts. He hatched an audacious scheme in the early 1800s to harvest cold gold from the solid winter waters of New England.
He cut ice from ponds and shipped it first to Martinique, which he visited as a teen and was left intrigued by the lack of anything chilled.
