In England no town is more than 170 kilometers from the sea. So it's no surprise that Britain has a very important history of ships and the sea.
In Liverpool there is a great museum of maritime history. It's several ships in the docks outside.
Inside it shows what it was like to be on some of the ships.
Between 1830 and 1930 more than nine million people from all over Europe left from the port of Liverpool to start a new life in America or Australia.
One of the most famous shipping companies is Cunard. It's got the world's biggest cruise ship, the Queen Mary 2,witch crosses the Atlantic from Southampton to New York.
The majority of people do travel around the world by plane but ships are still very important for moving goods.
