Editor's Notes
- #2: Major things that changed the world we live in
- #7: Rephrase question
- #10: The Silk Road (red) and spice trade routes (blue) blocked by the Ottoman Empire ca. 1453 with the fall of the Byzantine Empire, spurring exploration motivated initially by the finding of a sea route around Africa and triggering the Age of Discovery.
- #16: Square sails – quicker, Triangular Lanteen sails – sail against the wind, clinker hull – stronger, large hulls easier to steer
- #18: Log and line measures speed in knots
- #19: Lead – depth – fathoms ( a knot every 6 feet)
