Answer:

Ships

Step-by-step explanation:

When the settlers came to the New England Colonies they saw the natural resources as an advantage for their settlements. The people in colonies were skilled and most of them were labors so it was an advantage to bring shipbuilding in New England colonies. The plenty of timber and lumber made shipbuilding cheap in the colonies. The first ships were used for fishing later these colonies became famous for docks and trading centers.
