Before refrigerators, there was Frederic Tudor—the man who made ice into gold.
In 1806, Tudor had an idea everyone called crazy: cut ice from New England ponds and ship it to the tropics. His first voyages were disasters. He nearly went bankrupt. Creditors wanted him jailed.
But Tudor persisted. He invented insulated ships and icehouses. He created markets where none existed. By the 1850s, American ice was cooling drinks in Calcutta and Havana.
