in the 1860s ferrocement barges were built
in Europe for use on canals around 1896
small ships were built out of ferrocement
by 1908 to 1914 larger ferrocement barges
were built in 1917 the first self-propelled
ferrocement ship intended for ocean travel
was launched both World War 1 and 2 saw
increased construction in ferrocement due
to shortages of steel in military construction
why did concrete ship building fade between
the war years the reason was new shipbuilding
methods other techniques were cost cheaper
less labor-intensive the killer other kinds
of ships were competitive cheaper to operate
concrete ships entered the realm of forgotten
history rare built now as use pleasure craft

I would like to translate this poem
less technical labor less development life and less history maker
