Transporting goods before trains and trucks was a very difficult task. You could only move things that a horse, team of horses, oxen, etc could move. Boats were a completely different story, you could fill a boat full of stuff, and a team of people could move it to any other place on the water. So living on the coasts meant that you were able to do more trade, which is what also made England so powerful.
