In 1726, explorers came and waged war on the Shell Islandites. After 59 years, they surrendered. The newcomers built sturdy houses and introduced the ox and horse. Good times and bad times arose. The natives rebelled four times within ten years of colonial rule. Shellburg became a trade center. New Kelpers envied the precious shell gems near the coastline and often exchanged horses and oxen to the natives for the shells.
