Trade was the lifeblood of the colony, and trade was impossible without good ships. The Adventure is a replica of a 17th-century trading vessel called a ketch. Ketches and other small ships plied the waters between Carolina and other colonies, especially Barbados. They carried the raw materials that made Charles Towne successful.

( Sidebar : )
The ketch Industry arrived from Barbados in 1678. Its cargo list gives some idea of items that could be carried in a ship like the Adventure:
