who did the romans learn the technology of shipbuilding from
Roman navy The Roman navy (Latin: Classis, lit. "fleet") comprised the naval forces of the Ancient Roman state. The navy was instrumental in the Roman conquest of the Mediterranean basin, but it never enjoyed the prestige of the Roman legions. Throughout their history, the Romans remained a primarily land-based people and relied partially on their more nautically inclined subjects, such as the Greeks and the Egyptians, to build their ships. Because of that, the navy was never completely embraced by the Roman state, and deemed somewhat "un-Roman".[1]
SS Archimedes SS Archimedes was a steamship built in Britain in 1839. She is notable for being the world's first steamship[1] to be driven by a screw propeller.[2][3][4][5]
