Do you know what times the development of ships has gone through?

The origin of ships was thousands of years ago. People at that time found it difficult to cross the river. If the river is shallow or the current is slow, people can wade across it. But when the river is deep and the river is urgent, people are at a loss. Later, it was discovered that you can cross the river safely with branches or stakes. So people hollowed out the bigger trees and made canoes to cross the river smoothly.

The development of ships has experienced four eras: the raft era, the sailing era, the steam engine ship era and the diesel engine ship era.

1, raft age; Humans use boats and rafts as their main means of transportation, which originated in the Stone Age. 1956 The ancient wooden paddle unearthed by China in Zhejiang has a history of 4000 years. Explain that the history of rafts can be traced back to a long time ago.

2. The age of navigation; According to records, there were sailboats in ancient Egypt in 4000 BC. The maritime history of China is from15th century to19th century.

3. The age of steamboats; 1807, American R. Fulton used a steam engine to drive the paddle wheels installed on both sides for the first time on the clermont, and successfully conducted a sea trial on the Hudson River. From then on, mechanical force began to replace natural force, and the development of ships entered a new stage.

4. The era of diesel ships; After the successful trial, the diesel engine ship developed rapidly and soon replaced the steam engine ship.
