About this episode
If you order something online, how does it get to you? By road? Maybe it’s flown in? Well, you might not think it, but a staggering 90% of all globally traded goods are carried by ships, many of which rely on intra-country waterways to get from A to B. These often giant, or sometimes surprisingly tiny, waterways are used to cut down travel times so that your Amazon package gets to you faster! But that’s not all they’re built for! From providing impossible looking passageways across countries, to the narrow straits giant ships are launched in, let’s take a look at some of the most important waterways, and how they’ve changed the world around them.
