Maritime History Documentary Different Time Periods
If you are interested in history then this Maritime History documentary should be interesting for you. Please read on to learn more about this wonderful area of history. General Information: Today's modern ships are molded from composite plastic materials however this way of craftsman's ship was only introduced in the earlier part in the 20th century. Even the Aluminum boats were not't developed until one hundred and sixteen years ago. If you look further back into at this maritime history documentary, boats have had a drastic change of course of human history.
The earliest sea worthy vessels were presumed to be a dugout canoe by various stone age populations used for coastal fishing and travel. A large tree was cut down using primitive tools and hollowed out forming the hull. It was the Indigenous from the Pacific Northwest that constructed dugout canoes over sixty feet long for everyday use and ceremonial purposes. The Hawaiian, Tongans, Samoans used various forms of wood for their sea travel usually hulling out two tree trucks and tying them together.
Another story is that the Spanish tried to capture her ship. When they got on board they dropped their weapons as soon as they saw her. She being in her sixties while in her night gown scars from her youth plainly visible with a pistol in one hand and a sword in the other. She died in 1603.
Boats were developed with new techniques during the historical maritime years. They were developed gradually from modified dugouts that were created from the bronze age. Egyptian boats displayed log constructed techniques where short planks or balks of timber were bolted from each edge making up the hull. Framing and planking were the most basic forms that made up wooden boats.
Ships and boats were extremely important and the way they were made was equally so. The way the frame was used to provide support and stiffen all the other parts of the boat was significant for fishermen. The planking was the outside shell of the boat that is fastened to the framing. It was the Scandinavian people that invented Lapstraking or overlapping during the 9th century. Maritime history is the wide overarching area that involves fishing, whaling, overseas maritime legislation, naval history, shipping history, ship making, historical navigation and all other areas of sea exploration. It covers all areas of the sea and the way boats were constructed as well as how fishermen began trading.
Sails were outdated by steam, soon it was steam that was superseded by diesel- driven ships in the second half of 20th century. In 1900 internal combustion engine and gas turbine replaced steam engine in most ships. Trans-oceanic travel, transatlantic and trans-pacific was particularly important application with steam powered ocean liners to replace sailing ships allowing for faster travel. Which in turn culminate the massive Super liners including the RMS Titanic.
Soon it was plywood that was used in making of a boat. Construction of plywood began in the United states in 1918. There are two variations of using plywood. Paneled. - Involves securing flat sheets of plywood to the transverse frame and to the keel as well as other units that supply longitudinal strength. In other words boats that were v shaped or flat bottomed. Molding- Temporary transverse frames or molds and longitudinal battens. Thin narrow strips of lumber need to seal and reinforce joints over which the planking is placed in 2-3 layers then stapled.
The welsh privateer ransacked the Spaniards and took the city of Panama in 1671. He was capture and was sentenced to be executed in England but was knighted and made governor of Jamaica. He died of natural causes in 1688. James Lawrence was an American Naval hero. During the war of 1812. While in commanded of the USS Chesapeake he took on in a single ship battle against the HMS Shannon. He is mostly known for his dying command 'Don't give up the ship!' Which is still a popular naval battle cry. - 23806
