tfw reading a book about cod and get to the part about the founding of the Massachusetts colony.

Holy shit, how did it live.

>Be John Smith
>Want to fish for cod
>Already been to the newly dubbed New England a few times before, even mapped it
>Get with puritan buddies and petition king for land grant
>"What for"
>Fish
>"ok"
>Get there
>Don't know how to fish
>Never brought any equipment
>Don't even know how to farm
>Can only loot native food caches to get by, learn to do this really good
>Native Americans attempt to teach you how to fish for the bounty that's all around you
>Literally six-foot sturgeons all in the rivers and hearty shell fish everywhere
>Lobsters swarming over beaches because so many at sea
>"Fuck strange food. Fuck off."
>Years pass
>More keep coming
>No one knows how to fish
>Somehow survive
>Finally admit some level of defeat and send to momma England for tools
>Hire some independent contractors to teach colony to fish
>Start raking in the bank
>Build Boston

I swear to fucking god, I think most or some of us really missed out on some comically tragic series of failures in apps and opening.
