Grains of salt from Lymington were combined with salt from many European countries to make salted cod (saltfish) in Newfoundland and the Northeast American Seaboard.

To the wealth generated by merchants, and the exploitation of enslaved Africans that cost millions of lives during the C18th and C19th.
