• Humans have used ships for thousands of years. In fact, there's information that says that humans used a trunk like a water transport for more than ten thousand years.

• Maybe the Vikings and later the Europeans were the first that started developing the ships.

• However, we can establish that the first ship as we know now, was the steamboat. And his creator was an American engineer called Robert Fulton Jr.

• Robert Fulton made the first ship in New York, concretely in Hudson River about the year 1806.

Sailboats: they sailed during the Middles Ages. They run across the air and they're the smallest and the most

triangulates of all.

Steamboats: they sailed during the Modern Age. Their creation was thanks to

vapor machines from Industrial Revolution. Their square shapes and large

seizes were their main characteristics.

Transatlantic : they sail today in day. They use

oil to navigate and they're the biggest and

lightest ever made.

I've chosen the ship because since I was a little baby I love the sea and everything that has any kind of relationship with its,

and today I still found the sea interesting.

Once my parents were scared about me and the sea, because I didn't like swimming. But when I got on the

transatlantic, I suddenly started laughing and smiling and nobody could stop me

until we got off the ship.
