• By 5000 BC:– copper fishhooks– Middens– Egyptian drawings of fishnets
• By 1500 BC– Phoenicians sailed out of Mediterranean Sea to
Britain

Pytheas
• 350-300 BC– sailed to England, Norway, Germany– navigated by sun, stars, wind– recognized relationship between moon and
tides– he didn’t understand the cause, but described
what we now know as tides

Eratosthenes (264-194 BC)
• Calculated circumference of Earth at 25,000 miles
• Ptolemy didn’t believe that figure, thought the circumference was about 18,000 miles

• Colonized Iceland and Greenland• Knowledge of navigation increased• Made it to Mediterranean by 455 AD• Oceanic voyages by 8th century• Little Ice Age drove them from North

The Medieval warm period was a time of exploration for the Vikings. With the onset of the Little Ice Age exploration became treacherous and fewer voyages were completed.

• This compass consisted of a bowl of water with a magnetized needle floating on top, pointing to the poles.

Ships of Columbus’s day average around 4 knots. Top speed for these vessels averaged 8 knots.They usually covered 90-100 miles in one day.

Amerigo Vespucci: 1454-1512
http://oz.plymouth.edu/~lts/wilderness/explorers.html
• Spanish merchant and explorer• Prepared maps and routes to the New World• Voyages led to Argentina and Patagonia• Accepted South America as a new continent,
not Asia, thus “America” is named for him.• The New world was named after him in 1507 by
Martin Waldseemuller, a German mapmaker

Vasco Núñez de Balboa(1475-1519), Spain
In 1511, Indians told him of a sea on the other side of the Isthmus of Panama, and stories of gold. September 1513, Balboa led an expedition of about 90 Spaniards and Native Americans to find the sea. Three weeks later, he climbed a mountain peak. From there, he sighted the Pacific Ocean for the first time. Called it the South Sea.
First European to cross Isthmus of Panama to
Pacific Ocean
