The Golden Age of Sail was a steady period of economic success for the Maritimes. Although short lived, it spanned from 1846 to 1867 and made British North America a major player in the international shipbuilding industry. This time of prosperity and nation building also marked a tradition of craftsmanship – the coming together of wind, wood and sail – especially in Saint John, New Brunswick. The establishment of a vessel registry kept track of the number of ships built in the city, and the numbers
– as hardwood was abundant and therefore used to build ships at a lesser cost. This did not stop Saint John shipbuilders, since their reputation was second to none, as “the fame of this port city continued to grow.” Though, must be said “the shipbuilding business of New Brunswick during 1861, may be said to have moderately remunerative, although not by any means inflated or speculative.

"They want to build bigger vessels because it is relatively cheaper and requires fewer people," Hossain said, adding their reluctance has made India and Indonesia the new destinations for small shipbuilding. The focus on Bangladesh came
industries like Shipbuilding, Textiles, Coal mining and Steel making suffered survirly. Ship building in particular was hit because if no one wanted to buy or sell goods abroad then ships had very little use so few new ones were made and so lots of people lost jobs. This then affected the steel industry because if there wereno ship to build then there was very little use for steel and so less steel was made and even more workers lost their jobs.

Born in Goa, with its many famous beaches, I grew up along the seaside. As a child I have spent my evenings watching huge marine vessels entering and leaving the port and developed curiosity about the working of huge ships. Because 70 % of the planet is covered with water, sea transport has been the largest carrier of freight throughout recorded human history. A lot remains to be explored about the water bodies in the world; moreover, the rising crunch on land resources will force further exploration
Shipbuilding and related environmental impacts of shipping The paragraph argues whether shipbuilding is more environmental friendly than other transportation sectors or not, and its environmental impacts, and how the industry can become more environmental friendly.

Deforestation Resulting from European Shipbuilding Historical texts have documented the countless technologies, ideas, diseases, plants and animals the European ships delivered around the world during the Age of Exploration. However, these texts fail to include one key cargo item: deforestation. European shipbuilding triggered an epidemic of forest depletion that gradually spread to the lands they encountered. Beginning in the early fourteenth century, wood fueled the increased production of

By the end of the first Punic War, Rome was an emerging sea power to be reckoned with. Clearly it was not due to her shipbuilding skills, nor her experience with sea trade. Until Rome made the land grab for Sicily, she had contented herself with dominating the Italian peninsula. What will be demonstrated is that Rome won by sheer will of its citizens and their identification
