Summary

Before the advent of rapid ground-based transportation waterways were often the most effective venues for human travel, and for centuries world history was greatly shaped by the results of sea travel. Collected here are history's most momentous voyages, each accompanied by route maps as well as images of noted adventurers, seafarers, and their vessels. The origins of each voyage are explained, as are the key events and personalities of the journey, and the historical consequences. This is a fascinating look at a small group of explorers and seamen who shaped the course of world history.

Author Biography

Peter Aughton is the author of several books on sea voyages, including Endeavour, The Fatal Voyage, and Resolution.
