The lumber market is a huge boost in the wallet for our Colonists. They use trees to build many things, most importantly houses and boats for our extremely lucrative ship building enterprise.

Fishing is a main source of food and profit for the people of New England. Fishing, whaling, trade and blacksmithing is a big base for our solid and strong economy.

Pure Livin'
