How did control over teak in Java help Dutch maritime power?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Teak provided strong, durable timber for shipbuilding

Teak is strong, durable, and relatively resistant to water and insects. Dutch control of Java’s teak forests therefore provided valuable timber for building and repairing ships, strengthening their maritime power. Coal was a fuel, and sails were made from fibres such as cotton, not teak. Exam tip: link colonial control of forests with shipbuilding and expansion of maritime trade.
