THE RUDDER
The rudder is invented in China. A rudder is a device used to steer a ship, boat, submarine, hovercraft, aircraft, or other conveyance that moves through a medium (generally air or water). On an aircraft the rudder is used primarily to counter adverse yaw and p-factor and is not the primary control used to turn the airplane. A rudder operates by redirecting the fluid past the hull or fuselage, thus imparting a turning or yawing motion to the craft. In basic form, a rudder is a flat plane. -

THE SUBMARINE
The submarine is invented in the Netherlands.Most large submarines consist of a cylindrical body with hemispherical ends and a vertical structure, usually located amidships, which houses communications and sensing devices as well as periscopes. In modern submarines, this structure is the "sail" in American usage, and "fin" in European usage. A "conning tower" was a feature of earlier designs: a separate pressure hull above the main body of the boat. -
STEAM BOAT
The steamboat is invented in America. The term steamboat is usually used to refer to smaller steam-powered boats working on lakes and rivers, particularly riverboats; steamship generally refers to larger steam-powered ships, usually ocean-going, capable of carrying a boat. -
HYDROPLANE
The hydroplane was invented in America.Hydroplaning which is also known as a loss of steering or braking control when a layer of water prevents direct contact between tires and the road, runway, or other surface. -
THE TITANIC
The Titanic was built in England.Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on 15 April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg during its voyage from Southampton, UK to New York City, US. The sinking of Titanic caused the deaths of more than 1,500 people in one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in modern history.

ALLURE OF THE SEAS
This cruise was the laregest cruise of the Royal Carribbean.Allure of the Seas is an Oasis-class cruise ship owned and operated by Royal Caribbean International. Together with her sister ship, Oasis of the Seas, it holds the record for the largest passenger ship ever constructed, although Allure is 50 millimetres longer than Oasis, making it technically the largest despite the fact that both ships have identical superstructures. -
OAR POWERED
Oar powered ships sail Easteren Mediterranean seas. This was the main way a person, or group of people would travel. Before the steam engine and steam boats came manual labor had to be out into action with the transportation of the boat. -
REED BOATS
Reed boats were first used for fishing and hunting. Reed Boats and Rafts, along with dugout canoes and other rafts, are among the oldest known types of boats. Often used as traditional fishing boats, they are still used in a few places around the world, though they have generally been replaced with planked boats. Reed boats can be distinguished from reed rafts, since reed boats are usually waterproofed with some form of tar. -
SAILING SHIPS
Sailing ships were bult in Mesopotamia. The term sailing ship is used to refer to any large wind-powered vessel. In technical terms, a ship was a sailing vessel with a specific rig of at least three masts, square rigged on all of them, making the sailing adjective redundant. In popular usage "ship" became associated with all large sailing vessels and when steam power came along the adjective became necessary. Large sailing vessels which are not ship rigged may be more called boats.
