Boat building along the Nile River

Boat building along the Nile River has gone on from the earliest of times. The Nile River, the longest in the world, was what made civili ation possible in ancient Egypt. It brought water each year for the irrigation of Egypt’s crops. It was an effective means of transportation for people and cargo of all kinds. In a desert land it can be said, "without the Nile there would have been no Egypt."
