they chopped down wood, sawed it up, and made ships out of it. They lived on a peninsula, so they had plenty of water to sail them in and it helped them out in alot of ways, both with and against Athens
Athens had a strong navy, while Sparta had a better army
Sparta - its army. Athens - its navy.
A navy is not on land, so neither had the best navy.

because Sparta didn't have things that Athens had like, most of it was grain came from the lands surrounding the black sea so the Sparta had built its own strong navy.
main army city in Greece
When Athens used its navy to good effect during the 27-year Peloponnesian War, Sparta realised that it had to get the Peloponnesian league an equally strong nave to succeed. They took money from Persia to build a fleet which finally destroyed the Athenian navy and led to Athens' surrender.
The sparta's navy defeated defeated the Athenians navy :). Glad I could help!!
Athens was a democracy and had more liberal (for that time) thinking and had good navy. Sparta was a oligarchy was more conservative and militaristic and had great army. In the war between them (Peloponnesian war), Sparta won.
they did not have one Sparta eventually built a navy in the latter phase of their war with Athens, but they handled it badly, and the superior seamanship of the Athenian navy resulted in the humiliating loss of several sea battles. The Spartan king Lysander conquered Athens by using the Spartan navy in a different way, with an amphibious attack on Athens.
Athens was not in control of Sparta before, during or after the war. The only facet of its military that was stronger than Sparta's was the Athenian navy.
Not sure specifically what your asking but hope this helps. Sparta lacked a navy if thats what your wondering. During war with Persia Athen's navy helped the Spartans during the war.
