From ancient dugout canoes to modern megaships, maritime vessels have evolved significantly over thousands of years. Early boats included Egyptian reed boats, Khufu's solar boat made of wood and rope, and dhows used in the Red Sea. During medieval times, Viking longships with 60 rowers and massive Chinese junks carrying over 200 people were prominent. The first steamship to cross the Atlantic was the SS Savannah in 1818. Modern developments include the first iron hulled ocean liner SS Great Britain in 1843, the first oil tanker the Zoroaster in 1870, the ill-fated RMS Titanic in 1912, and now huge passenger, war, and cargo ships.
A cruise ship is a passenger used for pleasure voyages. Cruise ships are destinations in themselves With features and amenities comparable or superior to land-based resorts. Cruising is remarkably affordable and one can enjoy his/her dream vacations. Cruise tourism made its small beginnings in 1839 as part of the fortnightly crossing mail service between Liverpool and Boston.

THE GREAT INVENTIONS IN WATERWAY TRANSPORT THROUGHOUT HISTORY AND THEIR FUTUR...Fernando Alcoforado
This article aims to present the great inventions that occurred with the means of river, lake and maritime transport, aiming at the transport of people and cargo throughout history and its future evolution. The use of boats constituted one of the first means of locomotion invented by man and was crucial for the development of humanity. Since ancient times, boats have been used as a means of transport. In the beginning, canoes were used for fishing activities and short-distance transport. Canoes are considered the first vessels used to transport people and cargo. Taking advantage of the current of the water or using oars, the navigators moved the canoes, covering small distances. Over time, sailing boats were invented, which moved driven by the force of the wind. The development of ships and the discovery of new navigation techniques made it possible for human beings to cross rivers, seas and oceans, overcoming long distances in the transport of passengers and cargo, in addition to using them as weapons of war. From wooden canoes to large vessels such as modern ocean liners, there has been a lot of progress. In the future, vessels will benefit from increasingly sophisticated technologies. Smart ships will become an integral part of the reality that surrounds us.

THE REVOLUTIONS IN THE MEANS OF TRANSPORT FROM PRE-HISTORY TO THE CONTEMPORAR...Fernando Alcoforado
This article aims to present the evolution of land, waterways, air and space transport means throughout history and its future perspectives. The means of transport can be classified into land, pipelines, waterways, air and space. The evolution of the means of transport was essential for the development of humanity. What will the land transport of the future look like? What will the waterway transport of the future look like? What will the air transport of the future look like? What will the space transport of the future look like? This article provides answers to these questions.
After attending this module, the user would be able to understand the history behind oceanographic explorations, the stages of development of oceanic navigations, and the scholars who have contributed at various stages. It will also be possible to comprehend the current trends in the science of oceanography in terms of on-going expeditions, technological improvements and the involvement made by various countries.
It is an English project for class XI for the chapter WE'RE NOT AFRAID TO DIE .....IF WE CAN ALL BE TOGETHER. This is an amazing and interesting topic. Work like a pro and become a director😀
In 2.0 version of the presentation, I have added several slides on the Srivijaya and of the Chola Empire and reconstruction of the Borobudur ship.
To cover over 2 millennium of maritime trade, in the Middle East, India, SE Asia and China under 50 slides, can only give us the briefest gleam into the course of history. To get the benefit of the slides, you will need to set aside some time to read through the contents. Our perceptions on the maritime contacts are changing too. The discovery in particular of dozens of ancient shipwrecks in Southeast Asia has built up a picture of the historic trade and the technology.
The voyage of the Chinese mariner Zhenghe and his voyages to the Indian Ocean. Until recently it is relatively unknown in the West. When I get started, I found that these spectacular Zhenghe's voyages were only the last brilliant chapter of the Asian Maritime book, before the arrival of the European by sea. As I dig deeper, I discovered dozen of shipwrecks and the achievements went far into the past.
The Srivijaya was the Asian equivalent of the European maritime power, like Venice. Their power was based on the control of the sea-lanes, with a series of ports and they rarely ventured into the hinterlands. This and other powers in Southeast Asia were in turned seeded by an even older maritime power in south India, the Cholas Empire. From India the journey took me further west to the lands of the Arab and Persian, the maritime world of Sinbad the Sailor. Until the arrival of the European and before the development of the Chinese maritime network in the Tang Dynasty, Arab dhows sailed across the ocean and the seas from ends to ends, linking distance people of China to the European. At last, I arrived in Alexandria, the ancient trading hub of the Mediterranean world, a bridge between the East with the West.
In the slides, I have included three incidences of overseas traders being massacred in Chinese history. This is not to put black marks on an otherwise successful Chinese civilisation, but to remind ourselves how history have been sanctified one way or another. History should be a honest account of the past, without distortions and omissions. History is the witness. I hope in these few slides, would help to understanding an aspect of human civilization on Earth. Too often our own ego-centric interest becomes a source of our own ignorance.

2. Dug-out Canoes
In ancient maritime
history, the first boats are
presumed to have
been dugout
canoes, developed
independently by various
stone age
populations, and used for
coastal fishing and travel.
A dugout or dugout
canoe is a boat made
from a hollowed tree
trunk.
3. Egyptian Reed Boat (4,000 BC)
•The Ancient
Egyptians had knowledge
of sail construction. This
is governed by the
science of aerodynamics
•-Most probably the first
sailing boat
4. Khufu’s solar boat (2500 B.C.)
This boat is entirely
made out of wood and it
is held together by ropes.
5. Dhow (lateen-sail ship)
In early
modern India and Arabia the la
teen-sail ship known as
the dhow was used on the
waters of the Red Sea, Indian
Ocean, and Persian Gulf.
Dhow (Arabic dāw) is the
generic name of a number of
traditionalsailing vessels with
one or more masts with lateen
sails used in the Red
Sea and Indian Ocean region.
Historians are divided as to
whether the dhow was invented
by Arabs.
6. Medieval Period
There were also Southeast
Asian Seafarers and Polynesians, and the Northern
European Vikings, developed oceangoing vessels and
depended heavily upon them for travel and population
movements prior to 1000 AD.
China's ships in the medieval period were particularly
massive; multi-mast sailing junks were carrying over
200 people as early as 200 AD.
7. Viking Longboats and Chinese
Junks
Viking Longboats Chinese Junks (1,100 A.D.)
(Northern Europe, They were used as fighting
1000A.D.) and transport ships.
These ships used 60 men to
row the ship.
8. Medieval Ships
Various ships were in use
during the Middle Ages.
Longships were sea
vessels made and used
by the Vikings from
the Nordic countriesfor
trade, commerce,
exploration, and warfare
during the Viking
Age although scientific
analysis of the oak
timber shows at least
one well known ship was
built in Dublin, Ireland.
9. Medieval Ships
A knarr is a type
of Norse merchant shi
p famously used by
the Vikings.
10. Medieval Ships
The cog was a design
which is believed to have
evolved from (or at least
been influenced by) the
longship, and was in wide
use by the 12th century. It
too used the clinker
method of construction.
The caravel was a ship
invented in Islamic
Iberia and used in the
Mediterranean from the
13th century.
11. Three & Four Masted Sailing Ships
These wooden ships
were used as
battleships, and for
exploration.
12. SS Savannah
SS Savannah was
an American hybrid s
ailing ship/sidewheel
steamerbuilt in 1818.
She is notable for
being the first
steamship in the
world to cross
the Atlantic Ocean
13. SS Great Britain
The first ocean liners
made of iron and driven
by a propeller.
When launched in
1843, Great Britain was
by far the largest vessel
afloat.
14. The Zoroaster (1870)
The first oil tanker
in the world built
by the Nobel
Brothers
15. RMS Titanic (1912)
RMS Titanic was a
British passenger
liner that sank in the North
Atlantic Ocean on 15 April 1912
after colliding with
an iceberg during hermaiden
voyage from Southampton, UK
to New York City, US.
Thesinking of Titanic caused
the deaths of 1,502 people in one
of the deadliest peacetime
maritime disasters in modern
history.
The RMS Titanic was the largest
ship afloat at the time of her
maiden voyage.
