The two important industries along the Eastern coast in the New England colonies were:
1. Shipping: The colonies had a thriving shipping industry, as they were located along major trade routes. Ships were used to transport goods and people between the colonies and other parts of the world.
2. Fishing: The coastal location of the New England colonies provided abundant access to fish and other seafood. Fishing became a lucrative industry, with colonists relying on it for food as well as for trade with other colonies.
