Shipyard

It is regarded that the start of the industrial revolution was the invention of the steam machine / engine, by James Watt, the Scottish engineer. The invention of the steam engine slowly but surely enabled a steady switch from hand made manufacturing of products up to heavy industrialization, such as the shipyard on this picture, dating from the 19th or beginning of the 20th century.

Building of such huge ships enabled mass transportation of people, raw materials, mail, products and all sorts of goods from all around the world. The only downside was the lengthy voyage these ships had to take, which was over time corrected by building faster ships and eventually transport airplanes. Probably one of the most famous ships were the Titanic and Queen Marry.
