In addition to agriculture, which was dominant in the Southern Colonies, three other important industries included shipbuilding, fishing, and textiles. Shipbuilding thrived due to the abundant timber resources and the demand for vessels for trade and transportation. Fishing, especially along the Atlantic coast, provided food and economic opportunities. The textile industry began to develop as colonists sought to create their own fabric from locally sourced materials.
