The article notes a shift from sailing ships to steamers for cargo, especially in raw materials and tropical fruit. It cites dramatic growth in banana imports, lemons and oranges, and ongoing year round steam-powered trade since 1884, with Boston importers expanding beyond summer use.

Bananas were over eighteen times 1883’s quantity, while only three of the cargoes used American-flag vessels. English and Norwegian ships dominated, suggesting cheaper foreign tonnage undercuts local carriers. If cost advantages persist, export trade opportunities and subsidized lines may be needed to reach markets like Jamaica and other islands.
