Some water transport factsWater transport has been round for thousands

of years.The first types of water transport were small

types of canoes cut out of tree trunks.Earlier boats and ships relied on people rowing

them and using wind to move.There are more than 3 million ship wrecks on

the bottom of the oceanShips now have to be much quicker to compete

with faster types of transport

My experience of water transport: Seabus, VancouverTakes people between Waterfront and

Lonsdale Quay.It is fun on the seabus because you get to see

the sea airplane and helicopter.At Lonsdale Quay we have food and play crazy

golf.We get the bus from Lonsdale Quay to Grouse

Mountain and Capilano Suspension Bridge all because of the Seabus.
