Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Shipbuilding is the construction of ships. It normally takes place in a specialized facility known as a shipyard. Shipbuilders, also called shipwrights, follow a specialized occupation that traces its roots to before recorded history. Shipbuilding and ship repairs, both commercial and military, are referred to as the "naval sector." The construction of boats is a similar activity called boat building. The dismantling of ships is called ship breaking.
