Overland travel was difficult in the early colonies. For a long time, water transportation was the colonists' main link to the outside world. In fact, nearly all the early colonial settlements were port located on natural harbors or navigable rivers. New settlers migrated by sea to the growing coastal towns and inland trading posts on rivers.
