Editing Triangular trade (section)

==Other triangular trades==
The term "triangular trade" also refers to a variety of other trades.
* A triangular trade is hypothesized to have taken place among ancient East Greece (and possibly [[Attica]]), [[Kommos (Crete)|Kommos]], and Egypt.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Jones|first=Donald W.|author2=Archaeological Institute of America|author3=University of Pennsylvania.

* A trade pattern which evolved before the [[American Revolutionary War]] among [[Great Britain]], the [[Thirteen Colonies|Colonies of British North America]], and [[British West Indies|British colonies in the Caribbean]].  This typically involved exporting raw resources, such as [[fish]] (especially [[salt cod]]), agricultural produce or [[lumber]], from British North American colonies to slaves and planters in the [[West Indies]]; sugar and molasses from the Caribbean; and various manufactured commodities from Great Britain.<ref>[[Kurlansky, Mark]].

* The shipment of [[Newfoundland (island)|Newfoundland]] salt cod and [[grain|corn]] from [[Boston]] in British vessels to southern Europe.<ref>Morgan, Kenneth.

* A new "sugar triangle" developed in the 1820s and 1830s whereby American ships took local produce to [[Cuba]], then brought sugar or coffee from Cuba to the [[Baltic Sea|Baltic]] coast ([[Russian Empire]] and [[Sweden]]), then [[wrought iron|bar iron]] and hemp back to New England.<ref>Chris Evans and Göran Rydén, ''Baltic Iron in the Atlantic World in the Eighteenth Century'' : Brill, 2007 {{ISBN|978-90-04-16153-5}}, 273.</ref>
* Ships sailing from Britain to Australia in the last third of the 19th century found a shortage of cargoes to take back to Britain. Therefore they took New South Wales coal to China and then loaded tea and silk to carry back to Britain. The clipper ''[[Thermopylae (clipper)|Thermopylae]]'' was one of the ships that sailed this triangular route. When steamships became fuel-efficient enough to cover the distances involved, they could make two trips to Australia in a year, with one returning direct to Britain with Australian wool and the other going via China. This competed with the [[Far Eastern Freight Conference|China and Japan Conference]], a [[cartel]] of steamship owners who fiercely protected their trade and won a sequence of court cases in order to do so.<ref name="King 2017">{{cite book |last1=King |first1=Peter |title=The Aberdeen Line : George Thompson Jnr's incomparable shipping enterprise |date=2017 |publisher=The History Press |location=Stroud |isbn=978-0-7509-7851-4}}</ref>{{rp|123-128}}
