Successful but not as intended. New Hampshire was planned by John Mason as a fishing colony with high hopes of becoming a New World fishing empire that exported barrels and barrels of salted fish back to England at a profit. The fishing grounds were further north and fishing was a marginal industry from the very beginning. It made its mark as a shipbuilding colony because of the tall white pines that were perfect for masts on sailing ships and the excellent hardwood forests.

Because of the good planning involved in trying to establish it as a self sufficient fishing colony its early settlers were mariners and included shipbuilders and skilled ships carpenters from the very beginning. It had a jump start on other colonies in both personnel and raw materials.
