Export regions

New France supplies furs including beaver pelts, prized for their dense coat. They reach merchants as dried skins or pelts that have already been worn, rather than as finished European garments.

Hatters seek the beaver's fine underfur for felt, so a pelt may become a hat instead of a coat. Indigenous hunters and traders supply the knowledge and networks on which this commerce depends. The skins travel by water to trading posts, then cross the Atlantic in ships bound for European markets.
