How did control over teak forests help Dutch maritime power?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It supplied strong, durable timber for building and repairing ships

Teak is strong, durable, and resistant to the effects of water, making it valuable for ship hulls, decks, and repairs. Control over teak forests gave the Dutch a dependable supply of timber for naval and merchant ships, strengthening their maritime power. Cotton could be used for sails, but teak forests did not provide cotton. Exam tip: link teak with shipbuilding and colonial maritime trade.
