The industries that kept the Rhode Island Colony economically healthy included shipbuilding and fishing, as well as whaling. The colonists in Rhode Island were able to produce a lot of whale oil which many people used in oil lamps. The soil was not as rich as it was in some of the other colonies, but they were able to cultivate a lot of beans and corn along with things like squash and pumpkins.
