The sea has always been a fascination and a challenge to man. From the earliest times he has built himself vessels to proclaim his dominance over the oceans, to carry him on voyages of discovery, on trading expeditions, to battle — or for the sheer exhilaration of sailing itself. The ship has a many thousand-year old history of development from the dugout canoe to the nuclear-powered vessels of today. Each stage was a triumph of man's ingenuity as he made his ships stronger, safer, faster, more easily manoeuvrable and every vessel a thing of beauty.
