世界上第一艘郵輪??由古希臘阿基米德建造。

阿基米德（公元前 287-212 年）是希臘數(shù)學(xué)家和機(jī)械工程師，是這兩個領(lǐng)域的先驅(qū)，比他的同時代人領(lǐng)先許多世紀(jì)。

在西西里島，在錫拉丘茲國王希羅二世（公元前 270 – 215 年）的統(tǒng)治下，建造了一艘尺寸驚人的船。 建造那艘巨舟所用的材料，相當(dāng)于六十艘普通船只的材料。 更重要的是，那艘船打算離開安全的沿海航道并穿越地中海。 這艘船被命名為 Syracusia，它代表了所謂的“古代第一艘郵輪”。

The world's first Cruise Liner ?? constructed by the ancient Greek Archimedes.?

Archimedes (287-212 BCE) was a Greek mathematician and mechanical engineer, a pioneer in both fields, many centuries ahead of his contemporaries.

In Sicily, under the ruling of the king Hiero II of Syracuse (270 – 215 BCE), a ship with stunning dimensions was built. The material used for the construction of that giant boat equated to the material for 60 regular ships. What was more, that vessel was meant to leave the secure coastal lanes and to cross the Mediterranean Sea. The ship was given a name – Syracusia – and represented what could be called “the first liner of antiquity.”
