Humans have been using boats for thousands of years, in every culture that has had access to a coastline as far back as recorded history goes and for all manner of purposes – like the Vikings, who were famous for using their boats to plunder and conquer, or the Pacific Island nations who literally expanded their horizons and explored new islands. And even though in the last century or so we’ve found faster or more efficient ways of travelling above and below the water’s surface, there are more boats floating on waterways around the world today than there have ever been before. They serve a wide and surprising range of purposes, too, like the freezer trawler, which not only catches fish, but has a processing plant and huge freezers on board to prepare and preserve its catch before it returns to shore during extended fishing expeditions… imagine that the next time you tuck into a fish finger.
