Historic Derby Wharf in Salem, Massachusetts, may once again have vessels in residence. The Salem Maritime National Historic Park has recently produced a draft site plan which includes four alternatives for development of the nine-acre site. The three 18th century wharves and six historic structures dating from the 17th century currently on the site provide a glimpse into three centuries of Salem ' s history as a major American port, but without any vessels. One of the plans proposes dredging the inner harbor to provide access for a historic replica ship and visiting vessels.
