Connecticut colonies utilized whales primarily for their oil, which was extracted for lighting and lubrication, and for their blubber, which could be rendered into oil. Whaling became a significant industry, contributing to the economy and providing jobs. Additionally, whale bones were used in various products, including tools and construction materials. The whaling industry fostered maritime trade, connecting Connecticut to broader markets.
