Best Answer

Many societies in prehistoric times built sailboats, from the Chinese, Japanese, and Polynesian islands to the Egyptians and Phoenicians. The development was most notable in the Mediterranean Sea, and the waters around SE Asia. By the time of the European explorers of the 14th and 15th century, sailboats had become ocean-going ships. These ships, which visited nearly all the regions of the world, had an influence on the world's global cultures from that point on.
