THE FIRST SHIP WAS INVENTED BY THE EGYPTIANS
Ancient Egypt was a civilization in eastern North Africa, concentrated along the middle to lower reaches of the Nile River in what is now the modern nation of Egypt. The civilization began around 3150 BC with the political unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the first pharaoh, and it developed over the next three millennia. Its history occurred in a series of stable periods, known as kingdoms, separated by periods of relative instability known as Intermediate Periods. After the end of the last kingdom, known as the New Kingdom, the civilization of ancient Egypt entered a period of slow, steady decline, during which Egypt was conquered by a succession of foreign powers. The rule of the pharaohs officially ended in 31 BC when the early Roman Empireconquered Egypt and made it a province.
The civilization of ancient Egypt thrived from its adaptation to the conditions of the Nile River Valley. Controlled irrigation of the fertile valley produced surplus crops, which fueled social development and culture. With resources to spare, the administration sponsored mineral exploitation of the valley and surrounding desert regions, the early development of an independent writing system, the organization of collective construction and agricultural projects, trade with surrounding regions, and a military that defeated foreign enemies and asserted Egyptian dominance. Motivating and organizing these activities was a bureaucracy of elite scribes, religious leaders, and administrators under the control of a divine pharaoh who ensured the cooperation and unity of the Egyptian people through an elaborate system of religious beliefs.
The many achievements of the ancient Egyptians included a system of mathematics, quarrying, surveying and construction techniques that facilitated the building of monumental pyramids, ships, temples, obelisks, faience and glass technology, a practical and effective system of medicine, new forms of literature, irrigation systems and agricultural production techniques, and the earliest known peace treaty. Egypt left a lasting legacy: art andarchitecture were copied and antiquities paraded around the world, and monumental ruins have inspired the imaginations of tourists and writers for centuries. A newfound respect for antiquities and excavations in the early modern period led to thescientific investigation of Egyptian civilization and a greater appreciation of its cultural legacy for Egypt and the world.
No one knows exactly when ships were invented. In 4,000 B.C. rafts were being used to sail down the Nile.

How long does it take to get to China from the US by ship?
In order to answer your question, you would have to start with telling from where in Japan to where in the US in order to get the distance.
Next question you have to answer before asking your question is the size of the cargo ship. This could be a very large container ship or it could be general cargo stoved into a row-boat.
Next question that will have to be determined is the current and which direction it has as the cargo ship is leaving Japan.

How long does it take a cargo ship to travel from Italy to Spain?
We can say with some confidence, a cargo ship will take more than a week to get from Mexico to any port in Europe. The problem is, it could take much longer, and there are not a lot of ways to predict how much longer without knowing details. Very importantly, cargo ships are likely to stop at various ports between Mexico and Europe, and the time they spend in port will vary. But there are variations in speed of the ships, and there are effects of weather to consider.
