Ships history. History of ship. Encyclopedia of the ship. All of the boats. Directory. Ship fools. Pictures, photos, drawings, engravings, paintings, pictures, bas-reliefs, frescoes, model. Rook photo Sometimes rightly say that our planet would be more correct to call Earth, and Ocean.

Because the water is covered with more than two-thirds of its surface.

Not surprisingly, the people in ancient times tried to find a way to overcome the water barrier, and then spaces. Scientists believe that the history of shipbuilding and navigation, has about 8 thousand years. This is the age attribute prow, found in the Gulf in February-of-Forth (Scotland).

An interesting finding was made in Germany during the excavations of prehistoric people stop mid Stone Age (13-12 thousand BC. E.). This well-preserved paddle, whose age is estimated at nine thousand years.

From an ordinary raft rowing up to the first vessels passed millennium. Ancient monuments of Babylon, Assyria, Egypt, China and the Pacific show that the age of the ship began about 5 thousand years ago, and over 3 thousand BC. There the court, moving through the oars and sails. Mediterranean Sea through the exceptionally favorable climatic conditions has been the cradle of European civilization.

Rapidly developed and strengthened trade ties, and that ships were needed, because the relationship between the developed countries the most beneficial and convenient for a maritime routes.

Phoenicians, Egyptians and Babylonians were the military fleet. It was intended both to protect its shipping from pirates, and for the war at sea.

Over time, as traders, as well as warships continuously improved by acquiring new maneuvering and fighting qualities. Increased in their displacement.

Narrow and long warships is the complete opposite of awkward trading vessels. They also had a double engine: oars and sail. Each warship was in the bow of the ram. Initially, that was easier to row, making low side. But at the same number of oars could arrange a limited number of oarsmen, and the speed was low. It began to increase over time to build ships with two, three, then four or five rows of oars.

Tens and hundreds of oarsmen muscular power to propel BIREME, trireme, kvantiremy and pentery. Stories are known to the court and a large number of tiers oars.

The invention of the sail is much improved maneuverability of ships and their ability to cover great distances. However, the first-rigged at first consisted of direct reykovogo sail that can be used only when passing wind.

It took a long time that people had invented the sail, which allowed the ship to move against the wind.

Latin and oblique gafelny Parusa marked the beginning of a new trend: instead of one uncomfortable to handle the sails put a few smaller, more convenient in the management of the ship.

Ancient ships were so good and rational, and that today in many parts of the world are building the court is almost the same design, as well as thousands of years ago.

Appearance of the ancient vessels and their expected sizes carefully preserved for individual sources (drawings, prints, paintings, bas-reliefs, frescoes, models) were reconstructed by modern researchers.
