During the Great Age of Sail, Salem's harbor grew larger, and the world became smaller. Merchants traveled the globe and brought back with them various wonders from foreign lands. And one of the most prominent, Joseph Crowninshield, invested in something never before seen on his side of the Atlantic: an elephant. Join your favorite Salem tour guides as they share with you the true story of America's first Elephant.
