The New England colonies' main exports included fish, timber, fur, and rum. Fish, particularly cod, was a significant export due to the region's proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. Timber was also abundant and in high demand for shipbuilding and construction. Fur trading with Native Americans was another important economic activity, and rum distilling became a profitable industry utilizing molasses imported from the Caribbean.
