The beginnigs…
For thousands of years, people have wanted to move on the water. They
have used boats and ships to fish, to travel, to explore, to trade or to fight, but
no one knows exactly when the first boat was invented.
The first craft used by man was the trunk of the tree, initially propelled by his
hands ,and later with the aid of poles, allowed not too deep water crossing.
The inventor
Robert Fulton (November 14, 1765 –
February 24, 1815)
• was an American engineer and
inventor who is widely credited with
developing the first commercially
successful steamboat.
In 1802, with Robert Livington, Robert Fulton launched a small steam
boat, which sailed on the River Seine with a speed of 4 km / h.
Consequently, Robert Fulton became known as the “father of stream
navigation”.
The consequences of the invention of the ships…
The occurrence of this type of ship has facilited intercontinental transport,
leading to a huge economic development.
Much higher speed of movement of the steamships, compared with
the rowboats used before, was a decisive factor in the development of
industry and maritime trade.
Developments:
Modern naval vessels can be broken down into three categories:
- warships
- submarines
- support
- auxiliary vessels.
Warship
Submarine
Warships
Are divided into seven main categories:
- Aircraft
- Carriers
- Cruisers
- Destroyers
- Frigates
- Corvettes
- Submarines
-Amphibious assault
ships
Fishing vessels are a subset of commercial vessels, but generally small in
size and often subject to different regulations and classification.
Fishing vessels can be categorized by several criteria:
•architecture
•the type of fish they catch
• the fishing method used
• geographical origin
• technical features such as rigging.
As of 2004, the world's fishing fleet consisted of some 4 million vessels. Of these,
1.3 million were decked vessels with enclosed areas and the rest were open
vessels.
Most decked vessels were mechanized, but two-thirds of the open vessels
were traditional craft propelled by sails and oars.
