5 Amazing Ship Design Features That Changed History
From anchors to antifouling paint, lifeboats, portholes, and even sewage treatment, ships hide clever engineering in plain sight. Trace the story of ship design through five breakthrough features: from anchors and heavy chains that hold vessels in place, to the red antifouling paint that protects hulls below the waterline. Explore how lifeboats changed after the Titanic disaster, evolving into enclosed, gravity-lowered and free-fall designs. Learn why ships use round portholes built to withstand immense pressure, and how modern cruise ships manage sewage with advanced treatment systems that meet strict international standards.
