Empire Island: A Fiction Narrative

The not singular but twice repeated mutiny shows the bad captainship of Magellan. In agreement, Document B describes that, “Many of the men—resentful of this cut and fearing that Magellan might lead them to their death—began to demand that the fleet return to Spain. Magellan refused, and the growing discontent eventually led to the mutiny...” (Document B) The act of mutiny shows extreme discontent with a captain, and is reasonable in this case. If the captain is this troublesome, it is not essential that he is saved. Accordingly, Document C submits to the notion that, “The trip through the strait took 38 days, during which time one of the ships, the San Antonio, deserted the fleet and returned to Spain.” (Document C) This excerpt show further discontent with the captain. If the captain’s value is questioned more than once, a decision to label his unworthiness is clear. Furthermore, Document A

The innovation of maritime technology has revolutionized travel throughout history. Prior to ships and sea travel, humans were separated by vast oceans and confined to their homeland for life. Because of these large boundaries, discoveries and inventions were only shared within land masses and trade as a whole was very limited. This uncharted, inaccessible territory caused a major separation of mankind. However, these oceans sparked curiosity and desire for explorers to venture beyond their native land. This curiosity was the driving force to the invention of naval travel, a highly important and massive step for all growing communities during the Age of Exploration. Maritime technology’s advancements through history greatly aided in the Age of Exploration, allowing provinces to break their land boundaries and make monumental steps towards the advanced world humans populate today.

After these events the Carthaginian Empire decided to use their Navy as one of the strategies to win the war. What they didn’t know is that the Romans had built many ships and armed them with a

Rome, the ever growing metropolis, one of the most strongest military forces we know today, a haven for riches and trade, and one of the most successful empires to history today. Rome was a growing empire, with its professional army quickly conquering several kingdoms left, right, up, and down, from the two Punic wars with Carthage, a war with Gaul, the conquering of Egypt, and Iberia, but, these expanding territories had its advantages and disadvantages. Rome had to quickly invent something able to move its soldiers to all of its territories that would give them enough time to get around to manage conquered people. The seas connecting Rome’s empire also played a role into how it’s geographical location would play into their success and prosperity.

The thing that I miss most about summer is King's island. I had a pass so I could go when I wanted to and it was always a fun time. It is a good time to hang out with friends and go on rides. My favorite ride there is the beast because it isn’t too bumpy and it has a ton of sharp turns and caves. It also is slightly scary with all of the fake warning signs. The food at Kings Island is also decent so I wouldn’t have to go get lunch. If I get tired of the rides then I can go on the water rides and the wave pool. The water rides don’t usually have the longest of lines if you get there early but if not then they are worth it. My favorite overall is the Tropical Plunge. This ride has the drop shoot, You stand in a vertical tube and you wait for the countdown and the floor drops underneath your feet. You then shoot down the tube and you make it to the end. All of these factors make Kings Island a very fun place, and the thing that I miss the most from summer.

Before Christmas 1606, three ships left London’s Blackwall docks to establish a settlement on Chesapeake Bay, in the New World. The largest ship was heavily armed with 120-ton merchantman, carried seventy-one passengers and crew, including the experienced commander of the fleet, Captain Newport; a highly successful privateer. The second ship known as Godspeed followed with fifty-two men on board, while bringing up on third was the tiny pinnace Discovery, which carried twenty-one men crammed together trying to survive the voyage with few space and very limited supplies. Altogether, thirty-nine mariners and 105 adventurers set out to found what would be England’s first permanent colony in America.

On 19 of May 1884 four men set sail from Southampton in a small yacht, already knowing the dangers of the ocean, but clueless of what a lasting

If a person didn’t follow these requirements then their cargo will be taken away. With that we were building more ships which created more skilled jobs and got revenue from England tax which generated economic revenue. Unfortunately, the Navigation Act fails to bankrupt the Dutch, so we decide to invade them in 1664 and surprisingly they surrendered. We now have complete control of the all their colonies and now we also want to get in the fur trade with the Five Nations, since that is how the Dutch were making most of their money. The Five Nations were a group a Indians who we ended up developing

During the post-classical era, larger ships and improved commercial organization supported a dramatic sure in the volume and value of trade in the indian ocean basin

The main character in the story is Jim Hawkins. He is a young boy who looks for adventure. He and a few experienced men search for Ben Gunn, and want to have him enlist in their cause. They steal the Hispanolia (a ship) and return it to the captain to which it rightfully belongs.

On the 11th of July, 1799, crowds assembled to watch the launching of the new ship. Final preparations were made, and the Prince of Wales climbed aboard, bearing a silver standing cup filled with wine. Two workers climbed onto the slipway carrying hammers, and split asunder the blocks preventing the ship from sliding prematurely. They then jumped into safety ditches as the ship went stern first down the slipway. As the ship settled into the water, the prince of wales poured the wine across the decks, and then tossed the cup into the crowds. He exclaimed “I name this ship Foudroyant,” to a fanfare of music from the shore.

The sea presents the political and social view of a great highway, of better and commonly wide which people may pass in all directions but on worn paths that led people to choose certain lines of travel. These lines are called trade routes. Nevertheless, all the familiar and unfamiliar dangers of the sea, both travel and traffic by water have always been easier and cheaper than by land. This advantage of carriage by water was marked two hundred years ago when roads were few and very bad in an unsettled society of frequent wars.
