hi @xpilar...!!!This time I want to tell you about a ship, as shown in the picture above and explain according to my own imagination for this competition "Once upon a time part 2"

Sailboats are a type of marine vessel that has a ship's screen. This ship is driven by wind power. This screen serves to catch the wind blowing on the boat. In traditional sailing ships, sailing is highly dependent on the impulse of the wind captured by a triangle-shaped screen. The shape of this screen can be triangular or rectangular, but traditional boats are generally triangular in shape. This screen is able to form a sandeq up to 60 knots. This screen is usually paired on different types of ships. The materials used to make sailboats in the past generally used logs, bamboo or papyrus as used by the ancient Egyptians, then used metal materials such as iron because of the human need for a strong ship.

The small vessel used for trading, latent, rigged use is then converted into square steamers, which are typically used by Portuguese sailors and Spayol for exploration, about 80 feet tall, and in its development are then added to other small screen pillars. crew about 10-25 org ..

Prior to the invention of the steam engine in the 19th century, sailboats were the only means of marine transportation for military and civilian purposes. But after that time, the sailboat began to be abandoned in line with the Industrial Revolution initiated by the British state through the invention of the steam engine by James Watt. Since the Industrial Revolution, the development of steam engines and iron / steel processing has increased considerably. This led to an increase in the number of motors and little by little the use of sailboats began to decrease.
