This article aims at examining the role of New York port in the history of American shipping trade durung the early part of the 19th century. In considering the rise of New York port, there are two points to be made clear. 1) In order to gain control of the shipping trade, there was keen competition between New York and such big ports as Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore. 2) There was a severe struggle between New York and such "cotton ports" as Charleston, Savannah, Mobil and New Orleans for control of the raw cotton trade. The author divides the period from 1815 to 1860 into four stages and considers each of them from a view point of commercial rivalry among these ports. He also points out the importance of the development of internal transportation systems which helped the rise of each port on the Atlantic coast. Thus he throws light upon the American shipping trade during the above period and also makes clear the historical process by which New York was raised to the largest port and took a leading role in the history of American commerce.
