The Evolution of Shipbuilding Through the Age of Sail For this activity you will need the Shipbuilding on the Chesapeake Activities Worksheet. Ask your teacher for a copy of the Worksheet if you don't already have one. As you go through this Maryland Exploration, you will be learning about the following types of boats and ships: After you have read a description of each boat or ship, you will identify the reason that each boat or ship evolved. Was it because of a change in resources? A change in technology? Or a change in demand? Or maybe, it was a result of more than one change. Then, you will list the human, natural, and capital resources used in the production of the boat or ship. Last, for each type of boat or ship that you identify, cut and paste the illustration that matches it (the illustrations are at the back of your Worksheet). Are you ready? Let's begin!
