A lot of essay writings are done on
this blog. I am back with a very new topic “SHIPS”.
The persons who can see a ship without some feelings of excitement must have
very little imagination. Even the idea
of leaving the solid land on which most of us were born and brought up, and
going out on to the ever-moving waters must rouse in us all some feelings of
strangeness.
We may remember stories of terrible storms, with waves as high
as mountains; and of people from ships which have sunk spending weeks in small
boats hundreds of miles from land. But we have also heard of the joy of
travelling over calm seas under blue skies, and of the unforgettable excitement
of coming, one fine morning, to a new and beautiful land which we have seen
only in pictures before.
But ships are not, of course,
made chiefly for pleasure: their biggest use is in carrying goods from country
to country. If ships did not exist, the British Government would be quite
unable to feed the people in the British Isles. are much too expensive, and there are not
enough of them to feed even a small country like England. Trains cannot cross
seas, and even if they could, the amount of goods they can carry cannot be
compared with the amount that ships can.
In fact, ships can carry more goods
than any other means of transport, and can do so more cheaply; but, on the
other hand, they are slower than trains or .
This slowness means that travelers
who want to get somewhere in a hurry and who have not got too much luggage now
usually prefer to fly rather than to go by ship. But even for passengers,
ships have the advantage of being cheaper than trains or , and also much more
comfortable, so that if you want a restful, not too expensive voyage, the ship
will suit you best.
Ships have played a very important part
in history by making it possible to discover more and more distant parts of our
world. Columbus used a ship to discover American about 450 years ago. And even now, ships are used for exploring
the Antarctic. It would, in fact, not be too much to say that ships have for
thousands of years played one of the most important parts in shaping society.
