Very inspiring. It feels really good to know about the success stories of people that came from humble beginnings. With their expertise, perseverance and ingenuity, we can see how far the boating experience has evolved. From the inflatable boat to the massive aircraft carriers, it's really wondrous to see how far technology has progressed.
