The natural depth of New York Harbor is about 17 feet (5 m), but it has been deepened over the years, to about 24 feet (7 m) controlling depth in 1880.[17] By 1891 the Main Ship Channel was minimally 30 feet (9 m). In 1914 Ambrose Channel became the main entrance to the Harbor, at 40 feet (12 m) deep and 2,000 feet (600 m) wide. During World War II the main channel was dredged to 45 feet (14 m) depth to accommodate larger ships up to Panamax size. Currently the Corps of Engineers is contracting out deepening to 50 feet (15 m), to accommodate Post-Panamax container vessels, which can pass through the Suez Canal.[18][19]

Why do you think New York City became the most important commercial port in?
The main reason is very simple -- almost comically simple, actually. The reason is that New York has a great harbor. The sea floor under New York Harbor is very steep; the shallow, sandy bottom drops off into deep, deep water very quickly. This makes it a very safe, very ideal harbor for trading ships to dock at. This easy access for trade ships is one of the main reasons New York City has arguably become the financial capital of the world.
