	"While noted as a privateering and East India trade center, Derby Wharf also had some interesting tenants in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In addition to the sailmakers, coopers, carting services and stores one would expect to find on a wharf, there were also, at the turn of the century, a junkyard, A.C.

	The National Park Service developed a plan to improve the 9 acre site and published an extensive study with a plan in 1991. This included the building of a replica of the ship the [[Friendship]], dredging the harbor, restoring wharves, building a new visitor center at the Salem Armory Site, and constructing a storehouse on the wharf. A team of archeaological historians from U.Mass did an extensive dig in 1993 before the renovations to the wharves were done.
