Why did people want to sail during the 18th century?
One of the reasons why sailing was so prominent in the 18th century was because of the Age of Imperialism. Europeans were mainly at the forefront during the age of sailing ships. By the 18th century, European powers were racing to sail over the world and take control of colonies in Asia, Africa, and the Americas. At the time, the more colonies a country possessed, the more influential they were and the higher their status was among other powers. European powers sought resources and wanted to spread their civilized culture around the world. In a more general sense, the Age of Imperialism also coincided with the Age of Sail. As new economies and markets popped up in European colonies, international trade bolstered. Transporting goods by sea was necessary and very efficient. It endured long after the 18th century as well, until steam engines and steamships were invented. A lot of international trade today is still heavily reliant on cargo ships.
