By the spring of 1671, the Lords Proprietors expected some profitable trade goods coming out of the fledgling colony. Timber, in the forms of pipe staves to make barrels and firewood for Barbadian sugar-production, should have been a ready commodity.

Frustrated at the colonists in spring of 1671 when the Blessing arrived empty in Barbados, the Lords made their expectations clear. Thomas Colleton warned the council that if the Carolina didn't come back to Barbadoes "loaded [with timber] upon the Lords Proprietors account this time, she will hardly come back to you againe."
