Fishing, ship building, and the slave trade
Whaling was primarily associated with the New England colonies, particularly Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. These areas had access to rich coastal waters and abundant whale populations, making them ideal for whaling activities. Towns like New Bedford and Nantucket in Massachusetts became important centers for the whaling industry during the 18th and 19th centuries. The industry contributed significantly to the economy and culture of these colonies.
