Historical Shipbuilding

Historical shipbuilding refers to the development and refinement of constructing ships over time, reflecting advances in technology, materials, and design. Ancient civilizations like the Egyptians, Greeks, and Chinese built vessels using wood, employing methods passed down through generations. The Industrial Revolution brought steam-powered ships, enabling faster and larger vessels. Throughout history, shipbuilding adapted to economic needs, exploration, trade, and warfare, leading to innovations like reinforced hulls, specialized designs, and modern materials. This evolution shaped maritime history, facilitating global connectivity, cultural exchange, and economic growth across centuries.
