In the drawing depicting ancient ships on the Nile River, the sailboats would likely travel southward, using the wind to propel them against the current. The tugs and barges, which typically move cargo, would also head south, likely utilizing the wind and their own power to navigate the river's flow. The combination of the river's south-to-north current and the strong northerly wind would influence the direction and speed of their movement.
I am not sure how to make the sailboats that is why I'm asking!!!!
Sailboats as we know them, were invented several thousand years ago by ancient humans
The sail boat was invented by the ancient romansand egyptions 3000 bc
by the ancient Romans and egyptians 3000 .b.c.

The Uros, predecessors of the Inca, used tortora reeds to manufacture floating islands on Lake Titicaca. The ancient Phoenicians used papyrus reeds.
Sailboats have been used for thousands of years, with evidence of their existence dating back to around 3000 BCE in ancient Egypt. These early vessels utilized sails to harness wind power for navigation along rivers and seas. Over the centuries, sailboats evolved in design and technology, becoming integral to trade, exploration, and fishing across various cultures. Today, they remain popular for recreational sailing and competitive racing.

Ancient sailboats varied in design depending on the culture and time period but generally featured a simple hull made from wood or reeds. They often had one or more sails, typically made from animal skins or woven fabrics, which were rigged to a mast. Many boats, like the Egyptian felucca or the Greek trireme, had a streamlined shape for improved speed and maneuverability. Decorations and colors could vary, reflecting the cultural significance and craftsmanship of the builders.
