The Navigation Laws said that goods carried to and from the Colonies had to be carried on English ships. This prompted English ships to be used for the taking of goods much like the pirates did.

The Navigation Act of 1651 made it hard for foreign countries and even their own colonies, to import their goods into England. Everything from the colonies had to travel to England on British ships.
The British Navigation Acts were a series of laws aimed at regulating colonial trade and ensuring that it benefited England. Key examples include the Navigation Act of 1651, which required that goods imported to England or its colonies be carried on English ships or ships from the colony of origin. Another significant act was the Navigation Act of 1660, which specified that certain "enumerated goods," such as tobacco and sugar, could only be shipped to England or its colonies. These acts were foundational in establishing mercantilism and fostering economic control over colonial resources.
The Navigation Act is the act that required all ships that carried goods between England and America to be built or owned by the English. It also required that all imports had to be bought from the English.
The Navigation Acts were important because they blocked foreign trade, import and export from their colonies. This meant that British vessels were the only ships allowed to transport goods from their colonies which allowed them to monopolize those item's market.
The four major laws of the Navigation Acts, enacted by England in the 17th century, aimed to regulate colonial trade and ensure that it benefited England. First, they mandated that certain goods, known as "enumerated goods," such as tobacco and sugar, could only be shipped to England or English colonies. Second, all ships involved in colonial trade had to be British-owned and crewed by at least three-quarters British subjects. Third, the Acts required that goods imported into the colonies be carried on English ships. Lastly, these laws sought to suppress foreign competition and reinforce England's economic dominance over its colonies.

These goods are called cargo.
The Navigation Acts, directed the flow of goods between England and the colonies. Colonial merchants who had goods to send to England could not use foreign ships- even if those ships offered cheaper rates. The Navigation Acts also prevented the colonies from sending certain products, such as sugar or tobacco, outside England's empire.
