A Famous Ships Quiz

Ships are one of the oldest forms of transport known to man. It’s thought the first sea-going ships were launched some 5,000 years ago. In antiquity, they were used by almost all advanced civilisations for purposes of invasion, exploration, adventure and transportation of goods. In more recent history they have been a key element in waging war or defending against the enemy, shifting billions of tonnes of right around the world, and for fishing and leisure purposes.
