Analysis of the pottery boat of the Eastern Han Dynasty
The ship is divided into three cabins: front, middle and rear. The stern is expected to be a building, with rudders; Anchor in front of the ship. Three slurry racks are installed on both sides of the bow and eight crossframe beams in the cabin to strengthen the firmness of the hull structure and deepen the draft. Judging from its scale and structure, it shows that the people of Guangzhou have mastered superb technology in shipbuilding and are ahead of the world for more than 1,000 years. The invention of the "rudder" is a major contribution of the ancient people of the mainland to the history of shipbuilding in the world.
Q: What does a "rudder" do for a ship?
Answer: The rudder is an important component used to control the direction of the ship, and it is generally located at the stern, so it is also called the "stern rudder".
When many boatmen row the oars together, it is difficult to control the correct direction of the hull due to the uneven force on both sides, and it is very easy to cause danger. To solve this dilemma, the rudder appeared.
The helmsman works in the stern and can be said to be the "soul" of the entire ship. The helmsman can change the direction of the wooden boat by turning the rudder, and the discovery of the "Eastern Han Dynasty pottery boat" proves that the Han Dynasty people have used high-tech "rudders" on wooden boats.
