Ship transport

Ship transport is the progression of moving people, goods, etc. by barge, boat, ship or sailboat over a sea, ocean, lake, canal or river. This is normally undertaken for purpose of commerce, recreation or military objectives.
A hybrid of ship transport and road transport is the significant horse-drawn boat. Hybrids of boat transport and air transport are kite surfing and parasailing.
Ship transport is finished on ships and other vessels. These can be famed by propulsion, size or cargo type.
Recreational or educational craft still use wind power, while some smaller craft use internal burning engines to drive one or more propellers, or in the case of jet boats, an inboard water jet. In shallow draft areas, such as the Everglades, some craft, such as the hovercraft, are propel by large pusher-prop fans.
