Established in 1816 by Benjamin Marshall,this line grew in number and importance of ships till its Black Ball on the foresails was known the world over. The first ships were only of 300 or 400 tons register but became larger as trade increased. For years the Black Ball line maintained its supremacy in the packet trade and its ships were found in all the ports of the civilized world. It was perhaps the best known line sailing from New York.—Collection of Mrs. C. H. Marshall.
