Frederic Tudor was a pioneer of ice harvesting. He was known for high quality ice from various Massachusetts ponds, and he would ship them as far away as India. This process would involve taking ice from ponds, putting them in semi refrigerated boxes, and get them on a ship to their destination. Before Tudor, it was impossible for warm climates to get ice to preserve meat or provide cooling techniques to their residents. Despite a handwritten note being found in the Nahant Historical Society saying he was moved to Mount Auburn, the City of Boston denies this claim, insisting he is still in Tomb 13 at King's Chapel with his parents.
