How did the ship after the ancient times move? They obviously didnt have any power from petrol or coal and they didnt use slaves either.

They harnessed the air more effective, but lets say that one day it doesnt have wind at all how does it move?

        Oh that’s what you’re talking about? That’s early modern already. They knew currents and wings extremely well. When needed they would tow with small boats being rowed. You have to be clearer what Oreos you’re talking about

        Large ships like that were not generally taken to places that had issues with the wind giving out. For places with that time of issue the corvette was the go to type of ship.

    Marine engines are physically impossible. Ocean currents, row and sail the only way ships have ever moved. A few cargo ships weigh as much as every truck in the world.

        North Korea is poor because it lacks a port. A few miles of distance outside a ocean current is impossible for ships.

          I assume you’re just a schizo looking for attentio. But for the sake of others being confused I’ll respond once

          When the first transatlantic cable was being laid, two ships left, one from Europe and one from North America (Newfoundland) and met in the middle. Unless the same current goes in both directions, this would be impossible according to you

          I’m sure you’ll respond with schizoid babbling but this is for the sake of others, not for you. You can just claim I made this all up. I give you permission to convince yourself of that

            Jutland was nothing. In Ww2 the majority of battleships did nothing. Submarines move very slowly.

            conventional submarines can go 20 knots easily. Nuclear submarines can go 30.

            Fastest ocean currents are like 5 knots, you uniformed mongoloid moron

            That's physically impossible, you cannot find any evidence of a submarine reaching 30 knots.

      It moves the only way ships ever have, by ocean currents, and marine engines are physically impossible.

    Without wind you don't move. You sit there waiting for wind.

    The big square sails you use if you have wind from behind, they're your turbo boost and will carry you off into the distance at up to breath taking 15 knots.

    If you want to sail with the wind coming from your sides you need those triangular sails that are raised length wise.

    If you want to sail against the wind you need the triangular sails and you zig zag 45 degrees against the wind in one and then the other direction. This is very slow, but you'll be able to actually move towards your destination instead of being thrown off course, maybe with 4 or 5 knots if you're lucky

    Depends on the ship type. Some had the means to row, some had to wait for the wind and were basically going with the flow, the sea currents.

    You can scull by moving the rudder back and forth with the same effect as an oar, or put out the smaller boats the ship carries (which do have oars) and draw it through the water that way.

      Nope you can just use ocean currents like modern ships do, as marine engines are fake.

    Lateen rigging, the Portuguese figured out how to do maritime U-turns by arranging three sails in a specific order, so that your sails always take you to your destination, or at least don't blow you away from it.
