Hey so one of my ocs is about 3 thousand years old and before he died he wanted to be a sailor (but he couldn't cuz he died at around 15-16ish and hasn't even been in a boat but read a lot about them)

i was wondering if anyone knew what sailing boats were like back then?

I wanted to know so I could portray them right?

And also I more modern boats too as the story mostly takes place in our time.

I'm not sure about boats, but here's a good place to start.
"Writing, though, belongs first to the writer, and then to the reader, to the world.

The subject is a catalyst, a character, but our responsibility is, has to be, to the work."

You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future, not a future that will be but one that might be. This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advances, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the super states that preceded it, it has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace.
