Marine Propulsion is one of the biggest contributors to air pollution on the planet, with one ship producing the same amount of air pollution as millions of cars.

Sealed submarines can be pushed for months by a nuclear engine without affecting the atmosphere of the ship. “Responsibly sourced biofuels could provide an alternative solution for the shipping sector to meet the 2030 IMO level of ambition for CO2 emissions intensity reduction, as well as to make significant progress toward the 2050 levels of ambition,” a MSC spokesperson said.

Depending on the angle of your sail it will be the difference in direction of where your boat is heading and where the wind is going.

Dacron was used a lot as a material for sails because of its strong, durable, and easy to maintain. However when it was being woven into it suffered from weaknesses. Nowadays laminated sails are used to combat sails becoming weak when woven into.

Oars: (link to main article here) One of the oldest forms of marine propulsion, oars have been found dating back to 5000-4500 BCE.

Oars are used in rowing sports such as rowing, kayaking, canoeing.

Diesel Electric engines have been popularized due to the space efficiency.

The ability to reassign generators to provide work for machinery. Steam Paddle Boats have been a huge part of Marine transportation since it 1700's

Paddle Boats became extremely more efficient in 1769 when a newer, and improved version of the steam engine was introduced.
