考试真题

Steamships captured the North Atlantic passenger business from sail in the 1840s because of its much greater speed.

The high cost of steam and the lesser need for speed kept the majority of the world's ocean freight moving by sail until the early years of the 20th century

But steamships didn't lose their sails until the 1880s, because early marine engines had a nasty habit of breaking down.

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

James hiked, fished, learnt to sail and experimented with hot air ballooning.
