13 Colonies Trades and Artisans « Cooper Coopers were tradesman who made casks, buckets, barrels, and containers for flour, gunpowder, tobacco, shipping, wine, milk, and other liquids. One kind of container, the hogshead, was used to ship huge quantities of tobacco from the colonies to England. Because the demand for containers was high, colonial coopers made millions of such containers every year. Although coopers are traditionally known for creating barrels (casks), it was actually the “tight cooper” who made them. The construction of a barrel (more accurately called a cask) took skill, experience, and significant manual labor. The word cooper comes from the Middle English word “couper,” which means tub or container.
