The Voyage

Fellow teammates, I understand that we are dead, and in the underworld, but I still want to recognize a special compeer. He was our saviour. It is the well-known prodigious mortal Odysseus King and ruler of Ithaca. Throughout our voyage he has shown optimism and grit to return to Ithaca. He has never given up. In my opinion, I believe that Odysseus is a dexterous mortal. For first, he has never given up on or transgressions that has ended up with us all out of misery. I am sorry for him that he

Saint Malo, France. During his childhood he heard the stories of Christopher Columbus and he was inspired by them. He didn't do anything extraordinary when he was younger. But he did do some extraordinary thing when he got older. He went on three voyages to the same place! He also claimed Canada for France. He was a very important person.

Christopher Columbus and Alvez Nunez Cabeza de Vaca were both explorers for Spain, but under different rulers and different times. The more famous, Christopher Columbus, came before de Vaca’s time. Columbus sailed a series of four voyages between 1492 and 1504 in search for a route to Asia which led accidentally to his discovery of new land inhabited with Indians. Christopher sailed under the Spanish monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella for his journey to the “Indies,” whom he was loyal to by claiming

southwestern France to Antoine de Champlain and Marguerite Le Roy. Champlain was born into a Navy family where he learned navigation from his father and his uncle. “As a young boy Samuel de Champlain went with his father and his uncle on various voyages studied cartography, navigation, astronomy and mathematics,” as stated from the website Samuel de Champlain Facts. His father was a mariner in the French navy so Champlain grew up around trade. As stated from the website land of the brave, “very

Harding. The Wifes Lament by an unknown scop is an elegy about the betrayal, exile, voyages, and friendship. She laments the loss of her husband, prays for friendship and suffers from exile. The first section of this elegy the women speaking begins telling us how she is fixing to leave on a voyage. Anglo-Saxon women did not go on voyages, the men did. When the women tell the readers that she is going on a voyage it raises the curiosity of the reader. The women begin by telling about the “sorrow”

The age of exploration was a time in the 1400s when European ships went on trips to find new trades and trading aliases to pay for the capitalism in Europe. The age of exploration connects to the renaissance because people were getting new trades and discovering new places, which connects to the theme of the rebirth of the renaissance. Three of the key explorers of that time period were Ferdinand Magellan, John Cabot, and Cristoforo Colombo, and some of them were heroes and some were villains. Ferdinand

The Evolution of the Hokulea The story of the Hokulea, a model of the first canoes that brought the first Polynesians to Hawaii, is a story that restores cultural pride and history to Hawaiians. Her legacy was almost extinct, but survived and restored the relationship that society has with its island home. More than 600 years had gone by without seeing one of these canoes, until artist Herb Kane thought to build a sailing canoe just like the ones his ancestors sailed (Hokulea.com). Polynesia was

follows Toelken Twin Laws. The story comes from the Middle East and has many different versions of it which relate to the law of dynamism. All of the versions have one thing in common and that is how Sinbad goes on seven voyages but they all have a different way of telling each voyage (referring to the law of being conservative). Another story that is quite similar to Sinbad is The Odyssey. The main character Odysseus is far away from his home, Ithaca, and wants to go back to his wife and son. From

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries clock making was a vital European technology, and London was at its cutting edge. As a maritime nation, the British were concerned with one problem in particular: they could make clocks that kept very good time as long as they stayed perfectly still but not when they were shaken about, and particularly not on board a rolling ship. If you wanted to sail, it was impossible to keep a precise record of time. And at sea, if you can’t tell the time, you don’t
