Abstract

The research paper is to explain how a cargo ship can be constructed and incorporate many types of learning. It also helps to understand the opportunities that building a cargo ship offer an easier understanding of how they work. The aspects explored are the skills and techniques required to make the boat, the environment that boat will be tested in, and the values of the cargo ship itself. Biographical Outline
