Norfolk Island had certain products tht were deemed desirable to the British at the time. James Cook has reported there were numerous tall, straight trees (Norfolk pines) which could be used as ship masts. There were also apparently flax-like plants which, it was hoped, could be used by the British Royal Navy for flax for sails and hemp for ropes.
