Ships

People have always tried to live close to water: rivers, lakes, or the sea coast. Many trade routes ran through the seas and along the rivers, and travelers, setting out on ships for long voyages, discovered new lands. This book will tell you about the history of shipbuilding and about various river and sea vessels: boats, galleys, battleships, dreadnoughts, liners, and supertankers. You will learn when the first steamboat was created, how aircraft carriers are arranged, what the cruiser "Varyag" is known for, what Venetian galleys looked like, and much, much more. For younger school age.
