History
Timothy Orne (1717-1767) was one of colonial Salem's wealthiest merchants in the middle decades of the eighteenth century and had a wide range of business interests. He traded in fish, cloth, wine, rum, slaves, grain, and molasses to a wide variety of European and West Indian ports. During the span of his career, he was probably the owner of 50 different vessels. Many of these were schooners that he owned in partnership with local shoremen and master mariners and that spent at least a portion of each year in the fishery.
