Why do you think that shipbuilding became an important trade in the new england colonies

Shipbuilding became an important trade in New England because of the geography of New England.

As a result, shipbuilding emerged out of necessity and with the abundance of forests backing the New England coast, it turned out that New England was well suited to become a boat making haven.
