History of ships.

Sailboats.
Mainland is a reasonable human environment, but the sea is also a challenge, even during early human civilizations were already making boat / ship and ventured down to the sea. Possibility of boat earliest forms of "boat lanes" which is still visible today in the rivers of Borneo. But for a long distance certainly needed a bigger boat.
Pictures of boats that have been discovered, estimated to be made in 6000 years ago, but no doubt that humans have been able to make the boat a long time before. Maybe the boat started to be known when someone uses driftwood trunk or a bundle of rods reeds to help him floating on the water. Then by chance found that the buoyancy hollow timber larger than solid wood.
Furthermore, humans learn how to bind twigs or reeds to be used as a raft and how to make hollow reed boats to be used as a raft and how to make the boat cavity by punching holes in a piece of wood. To enhance the discovery he gives paddle / outrigger and then set the screen on both these kinds of vessels. Raft is a boat that is made by combining ingredients. Assemble the growing might of the boat first earnest. The development of the boat cavity deadlocked because of the limited, but still primitive nations use it. In the past, they did an amazing cruise boats with more than 1000 years ago, Polynesian nation across the Pacific Ocean commute by boat cavity. Little by little ships refined from the stone age to the boat to form long-Punic ship.
Boat called balsa used since ancient times in the lake Titicaca, Peru. Balsa is made of reeds and bonds can only be used for a few months because of the reeds quickly decompose and disintegrate.
Brigg boat made in the stone age of 16 meters long and 1.35 meters wide. For the size of the cavity boat is incredible. The boat is reinforced with wooden beams that cross at certain distances along the body. Through holes drilled on both sides of the boat was stretched leather strap, so that the boat was pressed firmly on the transverse beam earlier.
Among the most famous sailors in ancient times was the Phoenicians, they inhabit a narrow area, not fertile that lies between the Mediterranean Sea and the desert. Because it is not surprising that they chose the sea as a place to earn a living. Maybe they're the first sailors who sail offshore and around the African continent (approximately in 600 BC).
The ships they controlled the trade in the Mediterranean Sea to the north they sailed to England. The Phoenicians make manifold merchant ships and warships oval with a power boat and paddle screen as a backup, ships were long and slender and speed with the paddle power assisted screen is used as a warship.
Around the 27th century BC the Egyptians had built a boat of papyrus stems. Their boat sailed the Nile and the Red Sea. Boats ancient times did not venture far from the mainland, so I can easily find out the position of the signs are visible from the coast. The threat that exists only in the form of risk aground or hit a reef. But if the land does not appear again more difficult to identify the exact position. The sailors were forced to find a way. Mediterranean Sea called the cradle of the "Science of Navigation" because there sailors West for the first time ventured to navigate the open ocean.
Actual papyrus boat is floating rafts could. To prevent papyrus stems not much suck water, sticks together into a big file. The most ancient types of boats in Egypt are made of papyrus stems widely available there. About 30 century BC, the boat was sailed to Crete and Lebanon.
Presumably the nation's most famous sailor nautical times are Vikings. They sailed the seas of the Atlantic to North America over the long ships are sleek and fast.  Ability across the seas proved when in 1893 it managed to cross the artificial vessel Atlantic Ocean.

Steamship invention.

The first steamboat made in Fulton is a strange boat with a paddle wheel on the side of the hull were tested in France in 1803. In the course of experiments on the river Seine boat was going well and moving back and forth like the walking speed in a hurry on the mainland.
But a lightweight hull unbalanced with large steam boiler and the machine weighs too heavy. "CLERMONT" which steam power is depicted in the figure proposed by Fulton to the US Patent Office did a brilliant first cruise on the Hudson River in 1807. When compared to its predecessor, the improvement is on the machine "Boulton and Watt" more powerful and efficient and the hull design is perfect to carry the machine.
Steam and sailing ships that crossed the Atlantic aboard the steam-powered solely bring people closer to the real modern ships. But the drastic progress of the Great Western, the wheeled timber ship sides in addition to the mighty Mauretania only possible thanks to the confluence of three vital technical advances during the 19th century steamboats Charlotte Dundas first successful construction was built in 1803 for an English nobleman Lord Dundas and named his wife.
Month March 1803 this ship heaved two barge loaded at the Fort and Clyde canal. But next cruise prohibited landlord alarming canal square waves would damage the wheel gastric canal cliff.
Steamship Great Eastern which was completed in 1858 is the largest of its kind. At times it can carry 4000 passengers or 10,000 soldiers. To make it required 10,200 tons of steel and 5,430 m2 of sail cloth.
Ship Great Eastern which is entirely made of iron in the relatively greatest and most amazing world. These characteristics are retained for nearly 40 years. With approaching 215 m long, 26 m wide and 18 m high and unloading 12,000 tons of coal, rounded the Cape of Good Hope and back through the Cape Horn.
Great Eastern is historically important because this ship demonstrates the possibilities of metal construction to measure virtually unlimited. Instead, as a working ship, the Great Eastern is a miserable failure. The vessel has not been entered East trade lane is actually a goal. The ship had spent years in the bleak mining is used as a trans-Atlantic cable-laying vessel (Cable Layer Ship) cross the Atlantic for more than 10 years and finished his career as a floating home entertainment.

Ship Explosion Total Iron.

An investigation into the ship sails to the Far East trade, published in 1853 by James Hodgson I, a shipbuilder Liverpool concluded that a measuring timber ship of 1,000 tons cost 20% higher than the same sized iron ships. Moreover, the timber ship capacity is 1,500 tons of cargo, while the capacity of the iron ship of the same size could reach 1,800 tons.
As a result of this difference, plus the depreciation rate lower and lower costs for insurance and interest, an iron ship returning from the East can bring advantages 2:00 pounsterling greater than the acquisition of timber ships. This report encourages the rapid growth in the manufacture of iron ships.

Ship Type Activator.

Movers paddle / Oar.

In the 21th Century ship propulsion using the paddle is not there anymore, except the boats in shallow waters such as in rivers of Borneo, Sumatra, Java and others. Vessel having a paddle driven by human power with the paddle (oar) in the left or right side of the hull (hull) vessel.
Vessel having a paddle is now only used for sporting competitions, in the Kapuas river Musi and there rowboat known as Bidar boat pedaled by some people with a sitting at the bow to give the cue,
There's also a boat crossing the river that serves as a bridge. In the 18th century and 19th are using some sort of paddle boats run by machines, Pedal boats are called paddle wheel (wheel paddles) ship called Paddle Wheel Ship.

The driving wind.

Ships having a wind that ship construction using masts and some sort screens (sail) to harness the wind blowing on the screen of the ship. Until the end of the 17th century, ocean sailing vessels already rare after power the engine that drives the propeller has been used since the invention of the steam engine. Now sailing ships still possessed by some countries like Germany, UK, USA and Indonesia as well as the ship of the Navy's coach is named KRI Dewaruci RI and Phinisi archipelago that some time ago across the ocean towards Cancouver to participate in the exhibition of marine transportation.
For inter-island cruise, the ship sails from Madura and Sulawesi until now still we encountered unloading at the port of Sunda Kelapa, Jakarta, with a cargo of copra, rattan, boards, lumber, and other. Ocean sailing boat is equipped with two or three masts and a few screens, each of which has a name and function.

Vessel (boat) screens for sport (sport screens) are in all countries, including Indonesia, which has a screen sports teams and rowing. Example Pertamina has a health club named Seahorse screen. Types of sailboats competed among others:
laser; Interprise, 407
Firebal; Yacht, etc.
407 is the type of sailboat that length of 4 m 7 cm.

Roman Galea from the period around 50 BC in the battle mainly used paddle, but if there is no wind for sailing far used the screen. Milestones pounder iron or bronze plated to drown the enemy. Rectangular screen used, as well as rowing and steering the boat is located on the left.

Dhau boat in Arabic has been known since over 15 centuries, the Arabs that time sailors had sailed back and forth to India to take advantage of seasonal wind. Already from the first time a sailboat or boat used as a means of transport in the water due to the use of cargo ships can be transported as much as possible, but used also transport troops to conquer the enemy.

Activator / outturn.

Ships that have the engine room in the hull where the machine is able to move the vanes (propeller) ships as a means of push / motion of the ship. Now the ship is a means of transport by sea transports power is very large compared with overland transport especially by air.

Ship definition.

The so-called ship is a form of construction that can float (floating) in water and has properties such unloading of passengers or goods that nature can motion with a paddle, wind or engine.
In the shipping terms, meaning there are ships of foreign terms are:
• SHIP called for larger vessels.
• BOAT called for small-sized vessels.
• VESSEL referred to ship large and small.
• CRAFT called for small-sized vessels.
• CARRIER also often used for ships carrying bulk goods / Bulk Carrier, wood / Log and Timber Carrier.

Barge or barges is a floating device that is the nature of the cargo can be a liquid (water or oil) or other general merchandise, usually barge is towed by a tug boat (tug boat) in this case the floating device is not the kind of ship, another case where the barge has the actuator itself eg self Propelled Barge is a form of vessel.
