In colonial times, a cooper typically worked in a workshop or cooperage, where they crafted wooden barrels, tubs, and other containers. These items were essential for storing and transporting goods such as food, beverages (like beer and wine), and other commodities. Coopers were vital to the economy, as their products were crucial for trade and preservation in an era without modern packaging. Many cooperages were located near ports or trade routes to facilitate easy distribution.
