Question

The ship is man’s oldest and most important means of transportation. Today, thousands of ships
cross oceans, sail along sea coasts and ply inland waterways. Trade among countries depends
heavily on ships. Many kinds of ships are used to carry goods and people. Giant tankers haul
petroleum, vegetable oil, wine and other liquids. Other vessels carry cargoes such as grain, ore and
sand. Passenger liners carry travellers across the oceans. Man’s first ‘ship’ was probably a log that
he used to cross a river. He probably used his hands to paddle the log.
Later, he learned to build rafts by lashing logs together. In ancient Egypt, the people made their
first rafts out of bundles of reeds. Later, they learned to lash bundles of reeds together to make
boats. By about 4000 B.3., the Egyptians had learned to build galleys. Galleys were long boats
powered by a row of paddles. By about 3200 B.3., the Egyptians had invented sails and therefore
they were able to use the power of the wind to propel their boats. The basic pattern for ships
became set with the invention of the sail. Shipbuilders began concentrating on designing improved
ships. The 20 th century saw some of the biggest ships in the world. The three largest trans-
Atlantic liners launched to carry passengers across the Atlantic during the 1960’s were the
‘Michelangelo’, the ‘Raffaello’ and the ‘Queen Elizabeth II’. The ships of the future are expected
to be even more efficient and will cost less to operate.
