that still exists today. In fact, the oldest type of boat was created on the
8,000 B.C. and was called “Pesse Canoe”. It was about 10 feet long made up of a
log cut into half and made it into a Canoe.

were the first to take credit for creating sailboats, it does not use paddle to
stroll into the sea but it uses a large cloth which catches the wind which
causes the boat to move. For thousand of years, boats have been the fastest
boats that was created until 1880s where fuel powered boats were created.
Nowadays, we now have different kinds of boats. We have
racing boats, sail boats, kayaks, yachts, catamaran, motorboats, canoes and
many more.
