While some black synthetic dyes were developed, dyers continued to use logwood to the end of the century, especially for silk. |
Some of the early privateers settled in these waterlogged plains, cutting and selling logwood as a means to generating wealth. |
Mahogany cutting and removal were dramatically more labor-intensive than logwood. |
The early settlers were attracted by the logwood, from which was extracted dyes used by the Lancashire cotton industry. |
The many disputes and difficulties that arose over the rights of growing and cutting logwood are a matter of history. |
On land, they plundered logwood, a tree used to produce a dye used in the woolen industry. |
