Ships & Boats

Super Explorers want to show you the ships and boats of the world, from the smallest dinghy to the largest cruise ship.

• Barques were used 5000 years ago in ancient Egypt, but they looked a bit different than the ones we have today

• Longships were Viking ships and could sail forward and backward

• Harmony of the Seas, the biggest cruise ship, can carry 5,400 passengers and 2,300 crew members

• In one minute, a fireboat can pump enough water to fill 1,000 bathtubs

• Hovercrafts travel on a cushion of air over water, land or ice

• An aircraft carrier is like a floating airport
