DVD 6: MARITIME HISTORY


Ships and the sea are very important in Britain. Britain once had the biggest navy in the world. Now it's smaller, but many other ships are used for importing and exporting goods. The ships used only sails and achieved very high speeds. Young men had to climb the rigging to put up the sails. Some people also travel by ship to go on holiday. The Queen Mary 2 is a very big sailing ship. You can visit a museum of maritime history in Liverpool. It's got several ships in the docks outside.
