The ship- queen of water

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.

Robert Fulton (November 14, 1765 – February 24, 1815) 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.
