Biographical History

The Philadelphia Maritime Exchange was formed in 1875 for the purpose of circulating marine intelligence relating to the port of Philadelphia. The organization was maintained by membership dues collected from merchants, importers, shipowners, tug and lighter operators, suppliers and others connected with the maritime trade of the lower Delaware River. The Exchange maintained a newsroom, collected and published maritime statistics and established a reporting station at the Delaware Breakwater to telegraph news of arriving ships to the city. It also promoted river dredging and other port improvements.
