Add a heading to a table

We're going to use the <caption> tag to add a heading to a table like this:

1. write a table in the code

   <table border="1">
   	<tr>
   		<td><b>Ship</b></td>
   		<td><b>Speed</b></td>
   	</tr>
   	<tr>
   		<td>Dragon Ship</td>
   		<td>slow</td>
   	</tr>
   	<tr>
   		<td>Ferry</td>
   		<td>slow</td>
   	</tr>
   </table>
   		

2. save the code and open the page in a browser
   you'll see this:
   

   Ship	Speed
   Dragon Ship	slow
   Ferry	slow

3. Now, let's add a heading by writing this in the table code:

   <table border="1">
   	<caption>Our Ships</caption>
   	<tr>
   		<td><b>Ship</b></td>
   		<td><b>Speed</b></td>
   	</tr>
   	<tr>
   		<td>Dragon Ship</td>
   		<td>slow</td>
   	</tr>
   	<tr>
   		<td>Ferry</td>
   		<td>slow</td>
   	</tr>
   </table>
   		

4. save the code and open the page in a browser
   you'll see this:
   

   Our Ships

   Ship	Speed
   Dragon Ship	slow
   Ferry	slow

   
   the title "Our Ships" has been added above the table!
