∙ 14y agoThe 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.
