ship
Large ocean-going vessels are an important way of
carrying people and cargo. Oil tankers and container
ships are common in many ports. Ocean liners carry
tourists and give them a place to stay. Some of these
ships are several stories tall. The captain steers a cruise
ship from the bridge, while passengers enjoy
themselves on the promenade deck. Huge warships
carry thousands of soldiers to battlefields around the
world. Aircraft carriers include a flight deck where
planes can take off and land. Ferries, barges, fishing craft, and research boats are also an important
part of the marine industry.
