The shipbuilding being one of the major productive industries of the ancient Greek towns on the northern coast of the Black Sea contributed greatly to the technological advance of the then society being conducive to development of mathematics, construction engineering, natural sciences, etc. The Southern Crimea was during almost two millennia a node of the seaborne trade and intensive navigation.
