Ship

HISTORY OF SHIPS
•Humans have used ships for thousands of
years. In fact, there's information that says
that humans used a trunk like a water
transport for more than ten thousand
years.
• Maybe the Vikings and later the
Europeans were the first that started
developing the ships.
•However, we can establish that the first
ship as we know now, was the steamboat.
And his creator was an American engineer
called Robert Fulton Jr.
•Robert Fulton made the first ship in New
York, concretely in Hudson River about
the year 1806.
Sailboats: they sailed during the
Middles Ages. They run across the air
and they're the smallest and the most
triangulates of all.
Steamboats: they sailed during the
Modern Age. Their creation was thanks to
vapor machines from Industrial
Revolution. Their square shapes and large
seizes were their main characteristics.
Transatlantic : they sail
today in day. They use
oil to navigate and
they're the biggest and
lightest ever made.

PEOPLE DON'T USUALLY USE SHIPS
LIKE A MEANS TRANSPORT FOR
HOLIDAYS BECAUSE THEY'RE ONE OF
THE SLOWEST WAYS OF TRANSPORT,
ONLY A FEW PEOPLE USE THEN TO
ENJOY A CRUISE.
ADVANTAGES
IT’S A PERFECT WAY OF TRANSPORTING
LARGE QUANTITIES OF ANY MATERIAL,
EVEN IF THEY SPEND A LOT OF TIME
BECAUSE IT IS VERY CHEAP.
DISADVANTAGES
IT ISN'T THE IDEAL WAY TO TRANSPORT
BREAKABLE GOODS EVEN IF IT'S FOR
PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS VERY SLOW.
I've chosen the ship because since I was
a little baby I love the sea and everything
that has any kind of relationship with its,
and today I still found the sea
interesting.
Once my parents were scared about me
and the sea, because I didn't like
swimming. But when I got on the
transatlantic, I suddenly started laughing
and smiling and nobody could stop me
until we got off the ship.
