Planes, trains, and automobiles...people will tell you they're faster, more efficient, and save travel time, but what if you'd like to experience the freedom (to say nothing of grandeur) of the open sea? For eons, boats and ships have allowed us to do just that, while also providing practical uses in the form of trade, exploration, even war. Set sail with me this week as we embark on an epic journey that will take us from the so-called "Caveman Days" through now, all about the oldest form of man-made transportation!
