ships

Until ships became large enough (and engines small enough) to mount two engines side by side, they needed to keep sails.

Before the War, much of Britain's food was imported and when German U-boats began attacking ships bringing food to the country, Britain went on rations (配给).

All in all, the Olympic class ships were marvels of sea engineering, but they seemed cursed to suffer disastrous fates.

Ships are often sunk in order to create underwater reefs perfect for scuba diving and preserving marine habitats.

Stretching 269.13 meters, the Olympic class ships were wonders of naval technology, and everyone thought that they would continue to be so for quite some time.

The Olympic class ships were built by the Harland and Wolff ship makers in Northern Ireland for the White Star line company.

The Olympic suffered two crashes with other ships and went on to serve as a hospital ship and troop transport in World War I.

They gathered together temperature readings collected by everything from a 19th century voyage of British naval ships to modern automated ocean probes.

It then ships the gas 200 miles by pipeline to Canada, where it is pumped underground in oil recovery operations.

But the steel shells of hundreds of the ships cracked in the icy north Atlantic, and 12 broke in half and sank.

Europeans did not know of them until the 1500s, when Portuguese ships arrived on the coast of what is now sierra Leone.

Ships last a lot longer when they go to sea than when they stay in the harbor.

A ship in harbor is safe, but that's not what ships are built for.

If steel is heavier than water, why are ships able to float on the sea?
