2.                   The earliest engines were steam engines, but now they are diesel engines or turbines. The most modern ships are atomic powered. There are also ho­vercraft and hydrofoil vessels. The propeller and the rudder by means of which a ship changes her course are in the stern. A ship’s hull consists of framing (the keel, the frames, the beams, and the stringers) and the skin which is called plating.

3.                   The hull usually contains the hold, the engine-room, the boiler-room, accommodation space and other spaces, depending on the type of a ship. The hull is covered with a deck. Some ships have several decks, and so they are called double-deckers, three-deckers etc. Passenger ships and ice-breakers have the biggest superstructures, while freighters and tankers have small superstructures.

4.                   About the middle of the superstructure there is a funnel. Every ship carries one or several masts. Aboard the earliest ships the masts carried sails. Nowadays the masts carry all kinds of signal lights, radio equipment, signal letters, the ensign, etc. A modern ship may be equipped with a radar antenna.

5.                   Passenger ships have many life-boats on the boat-deck. The boats are worked by means of boat davits. Cargo-carry­ing ships or freighters have winches and derricks for work­ing the cargo. Tankers carry no winches or derricks because their cargo is liquid. The most modern kinds of cargo and passenger vessels are hovercraft and hydrofoil vessels. The hovercraft vessels can travel over swamps or shallow water, as well as over land. Hydrofoil vessels can develop high speeds.
