The main argument of this source: the primary argument of this source is that the shipbuilding was important in the transport of the eighteenth century and over the past three centuries. The author argues that ship construction through the use of replica was important, especially the use of old colonial replicas and models. To assert this argument, the author explores the developments in the ship building industry in terms of design and construction methods and construction materials. Bennet (2010) explores the three centuries and describes how ship construction has developed over time. Bennet cites the eighteenth and nineteenth century’s as the most significant development period in the history of ship making and construction using replicas.
