Steamships (APEX)
Steamships
Steamships primarily use coal as their fuel, particularly in the early 20th century. However, many modern steamships utilize oil, such as heavy fuel oil or diesel, to generate steam for propulsion. The choice of fuel depends on the ship's design, operational requirements, and availability. Some steamships may also use alternative fuels, like biomass or natural gas, as technology evolves.
Steamships are no longer necessary for the transport of raw materials and goods due to advancements in technology and transportation methods. Modern cargo ships, including container ships and barges, are more efficient and economically viable for large-scale shipping. However, steamships may still hold historical significance and are occasionally used for tourism or specific niche markets. Overall, while they played a crucial role in the past, their necessity has diminished in contemporary logistics.
No, the Lapita people did not build steamships. They were an ancient Pacific Islander culture known for their advanced seafaring skills and pottery, flourishing between approximately 1600 BCE and 500 BCE. Their vessels were primarily canoes made from wood and other natural materials, designed for navigating the open ocean, but they did not have the technology to create steamships. Steam-powered ships were developed much later, in the 18th and 19th centuries.
