    This engraving of Newport, Rhode Island, was published in London in 1831. The engraving features a picturesque view of the town, the shore, and a windmill. Newport was an early whaling town and played a pivotal role in the "Triangle Trade" of slaves, sugar, and rum. By the mid-19th century Newport was becoming a resort town for the wealthiest Americans.
