The colonial economy depended on the environment where the colonists lived. In New England towns people made a living by fishing, whaling and ship building. They fished for cod, mackerel, herring, halibut, hake, bass and sturgeon. Whale oil was used to light lamps. Town life in Northern New England colonies focused in manufacturing of ships and exporting rum.
