Human shipbuilding has a long history. Since prehistoric times when wood was carved into boats, for a long time, humans have created wooden boats that were propelled by human or wind power. In 1807, R. Fulton of the United States built the world's first steam powered ship, which was then propelled by a ship. In 1879, the world's first steel ship was launched. From then on, ships entered an era dominated by steel ships and powered by machines. Since the 1950s, ship propulsion systems have gradually replaced steam engines with steam turbines and diesel engines, and nuclear energy has been used as propulsion power. Due to the development of shipping and military needs, ships tend to become larger and more specialized, and shipbuilding technology has rapidly developed. The shipbuilding industry has become one of the most important heavy industry sectors in the world.
