Who were the first boat builders, and around what time in history?

Answer 2

There is no written history to support or suggest when boats were first made. I recently read a book that taced the origins of a place called "ID". Not the psych term, however, a place in Isreal, that, may or may not be the base of man as we know it.
It describes the developlment of many things, including, a boat to fish and challenge other communities. Hope it helps.
It is a long but worthwhile read.

Answer 3

Lost in the mists of antiquity.

There are remains of dugout canoes associated with some Early Stone Age sites.

There is an Egyptian vase in the British Museum, believed to date to 6000 BC, with a picture of a ship with a mast and a square sail.

Answer 4

About 3000 BC, Noah was instructed to build an ark, and in accordance with God's instructions he took into the ark male and female specimens of all the world's species of animals, from which the stocks might be replenished. Consequently, according to this narrative, the entire surviving human race descended from Noah's three sons.
