With few trees to use for timber, most of the farms and barns are built with masts recovered from shipwrecks. The islands are surrounded by shipwrecks, and even today many containers wash ashore that have blown off the decks of container ships in the North Sea.The main source of income on Terschelling is tourism. There is some agriculture, but a large part of the island has become a nature reserve.
