![Page 3: The Age of Exploration Braving the “Sea of Darkness” 1000-1650 A.D.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea95503460f94bad0fd/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Our goals for today:Recognize that travel in 1500 was very different than it is today.
Expand our knowledge about what it took to prepare for a successful sea voyage.
Use our knowledge about the Age of Exploration.
Have fun!

First things first
Getting into the mindset of a 16th century explorer…
![Page 6: The Age of Exploration Braving the “Sea of Darkness” 1000-1650 A.D.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea95503460f94bad0fd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Many myths existed that told the dangers of the sea

You no longer have access to knowledge of
the 21st century.
You must rely on 16th century knowledge.
![Page 8: The Age of Exploration Braving the “Sea of Darkness” 1000-1650 A.D.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea95503460f94bad0fd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
You will not be traveling by airplane…
![Page 9: The Age of Exploration Braving the “Sea of Darkness” 1000-1650 A.D.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea95503460f94bad0fd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Or by modern boat…
![Page 10: The Age of Exploration Braving the “Sea of Darkness” 1000-1650 A.D.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea95503460f94bad0fd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
You will not have the benefits of modern cartography.
![Page 11: The Age of Exploration Braving the “Sea of Darkness” 1000-1650 A.D.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea95503460f94bad0fd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Or modern navigational equipment.

You will travel as explorers did in the 16th century.

5. VesselWhat ship will you take on your voyage?
In 1500, the two most popular choices were the Nao and the Caravel.
What are the strengths and weaknesses of each?
![Page 24: The Age of Exploration Braving the “Sea of Darkness” 1000-1650 A.D.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea95503460f94bad0fd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
NaoStrengths:
Large
Lots of cargo space
Weaknesses:Slower
Not easily navigated
Example: Santa Maria
![Page 25: The Age of Exploration Braving the “Sea of Darkness” 1000-1650 A.D.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea95503460f94bad0fd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
CaravelStrengths:
Rudders and sails to steer – even against the wind
Faster
Weaknesses:Less cargo space
Example: Nina and Pinta
![Page 26: The Age of Exploration Braving the “Sea of Darkness” 1000-1650 A.D.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea95503460f94bad0fd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
6. CrewYou will have a crew of 30 people.
Who would you want to be on your crew?A cook?
A doctor?
A navigator?
A cartographer?
Crewmembers?
![Page 27: The Age of Exploration Braving the “Sea of Darkness” 1000-1650 A.D.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea95503460f94bad0fd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Importance of crewmembers
Sailing a ship requires a lot of manpower (women did not accompany men on voyages until colonies were being established).
Operating sails
Emptying bilge, or water that collects at the bottom of the ship
![Page 28: The Age of Exploration Braving the “Sea of Darkness” 1000-1650 A.D.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea95503460f94bad0fd/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
7. Navigational EquipmentThe King and Queen who are sponsoring your voyage only have a limited amount of money. You will need to choose which navigational instruments to bring with you. You can choose one or two of the following:
an astrolabe a magnetic compass a quadrant
How will you decide which to bring?
![Page 29: The Age of Exploration Braving the “Sea of Darkness” 1000-1650 A.D.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea95503460f94bad0fd/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
AstrolabeStrengths:
Measures latitude based on the position of the stars or sun when they are due North.
Weaknesses:Cannot measure longitude.4-5 degrees error.
![Page 30: The Age of Exploration Braving the “Sea of Darkness” 1000-1650 A.D.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea95503460f94bad0fd/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Magnetic CompassStrengths:
Detects due North.
Helps sailors to be guided by Pole Star.
Weaknesses:Wire drawn by large land masses.
Wire can lose its magnetic charge.
![Page 31: The Age of Exploration Braving the “Sea of Darkness” 1000-1650 A.D.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea95503460f94bad0fd/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
QuadrantStrengths
Determines latitude.
Used Pole Star as point of reference.
WeaknessesLess accurate near equator as Pole Star changes position in the sky.
![Page 32: The Age of Exploration Braving the “Sea of Darkness” 1000-1650 A.D.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea95503460f94bad0fd/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

One sailor’s account of the food
“In order to rest from fighting
We have with our meals
Dried beans and rancid bacon
Vinegar instead of wine
Already rotten biscuit
And camphor every morning.”
