The Vikings colonized Newfoundland 4 centuries prior and the Portuguese colonized the Azores and fished off the coast of Newfoundland before Columbus as well. Newfoundland may have been independently discovered twice before Columbus.

>>519383122I would sign up if I could turn the soil into doritos
>>519381926that is an interesting theory, they mostly drank light ale because of the lack of water, although Muslims could have made bigger ships and had navigation skills, they would never survive out at sea for long periods of time without ale to drink since the only water was rain collected at the bottom of the hull
>>519381107Alcohol, Escapism and promises of riches in new lands.
>>519381625damn. i must have made a couple dozen airfix models as a kid and i never knew about that lol. that was back in the day before internets. should have read some model makers magazine or something.
New Holland is our rightfull clay
>>519381107If you read up on that era of shipping, the captains were basically experts in all manner of things like warfare, diplomacy, navigation, trade, and they were effectively just given a broad plan to make money and make it back safely. This can't happen now as instant communications has made all of these requirements redundant, and they're all just yes men answering a phonecall to some loser politician that knows nothing about anything.
>>519383372They are huge dude.
>>519383453>since the only water was rain collected at the bottom of the hullnot true. you dont want to drink that stuff. lots of ships rigged water catchment using sails and stuff. of course, in the navy they got a half pint of rum with water at least once a day, which was nice.
>>519381406How antisemitic
>>519383523the whole idea of prize money must have been one hell of an incentive. take the right ship and everyone gets rich instantly.

>>519383546Bullshit, I've walked around on a replica of the Pinta, one of Columbus' ships, and it was tiny as hell. Even in that britanon's webm you can see the people walking around and it isn't very large.
>>519383601Whatever water they carried on board would only last a week at most before it became stagnet and undrinkable. Rations of lite beer, rum, wine, ect. would be the only water content you'd be getting for the rest of the journey

>>519384039Spanish and Portuguese were always considered white, and considered close rivals to other European powers. The idea that anyone thought they were not is fucking retarded given every Western European power had a healthy fear of other Europeans at sea precisely because Europeans can fight.

>>519383873>Whatever water they carried on board would only last a week at most before it became stagnet and undrinkable.thats not true at all anon. not even close. ships would often leave port carrying 300 tons of fresh water in all manner of sized barrels and casks before the iron tank were introduced. there was always drinking water available for the crew, and every day their rum ration would be cut 50/50 with fresh water and lime juice to make grog. they never sent without grog until there was no water left. it didnt go bad that fast.

>>519381107By the era of square riggers humans had been putting to sea for tens of thousands of years.Geodesy was already ancient when my ancestors were building Stonehenge.The stars had been tracked for tens of thousands of years by then.Compared to what the first transoceanic sailors had for hulls, that pic is a fucking supercomputer on steroids.

>>519381710>For most of history, you only ever said a few miles off shore.OK, lubber.Presuming that "said" was supposed to be "sailed," you ogre-thumbed chowder-hurler.
I always think about how crazy it must have been to have been a sailor during the time of transoceanic nautical exploration and the discovery of the new world. Loved reading about pirates and the royal navy and the trading companies back then as a kid, really runs the imagination. Imagine the promise of treasure and reward and the sense of lawlessness away from old civilization. Looting and plundering with the lads. Coming into contact with cannibal tribes even. What a world.
>>519383949True, and your linked video looks like a larger ship than the one I saw irl, which now that I look it up I see that the Pinta only had a crew of 30 or so, as it was just a small caraval. Even pic related was larger than that.
>>519384783they were carrying citrus fruit as standard by the mid 1700s, and lime juice by the ton not too long after that. the only time they'd start running into symptoms of scurvy was if they'd get blown waaay off course by storms, or becalmed in the middle of nowhere for weeks and weeks on end and would run out. Of course, sometimes they would wreck and wind up living on some island for long periods of time and that would also bring on that danger.

>>519385040They sailed the replica from the netherlands to australia in 2000 or something, they sailed on its own the whole way with backup ships i heard.If you skip to 30min untill 50minutes you can see it in rhe water in sydneyhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7HVrMlmgSEQ
They had the magnetic compass ages before people think. We can read about several amazing inventions including an arrow Apollo had which when shot would 'sail toward Polaris' which is an obvious description of a compass by somebody who has no idea what one was. Other ancient figures also had the compass. Phoenicians were said to possess the ability to navigate in mists and bad weather where the sun didn't shine and you couldn't see the stars by means of a "box." Lodestones have been sought for ages not because they're just amusing, but because people used the magnetic compass in ancient times. It was, however, obviously a closely guarded military secret.
>>519384248Those novels were the most faggoty nonsense I ever read. Written by a spook who couldn't get into naval college OR the RAF. Total lubber bullshit. If you want sea stories go to the local equivalent of Snug Harbor in your area--if any such thing exists where you are, and I doubt it--and talk to the old men nobody listens to anymore. >>519384276Literally the meme.
>>519385524They went to australia with the replica because the original one shipwrecked on the west coast of australia in 1628.Then mutiny happened and one part of the crew went for help in a tiny backup boat to batavia now called jakarta. Amazingly they made it and took them ages, when they got back they killed the mutineer rapists.The first western building in australia were dutch gallows

Dad had some carpenters come over the next day and rebuild the attic - shored it up really well. There wasn't any "safety equipment" or any of that shit. Do what you have to do and that's that.

When I think of this, I always imagine the early settlers who made the perilous three month long voyage across the Atlantic with only whatever they could carry on their backs. Just thinking about how much food and water was needed for a single person to survive this dangerous journey is mind boggling. Then add the fact you don't know what awaits on the other side, and it really puts into perspective just how bad Europe had gotten under the Roman Judeo-Catholic pedo monarch ruling class. Hundreds of millions of people would risk their lives fleeing the entire continent just to be free from those Devils.
