How did europeans learn to turn wood, iron and fabric into vehicles that can withstand ocean storms and sail for months without contact to land?

By not being primitive.
hyperborean aryan spirit
>hyperborean aryan spirit
but it was started by the brownest europeans
nah vikings made it before the spanish
Even the Newfoundland island was named by an italian sailor paid by english crown, kek
>vikings made it before the spanish
The Norse sailed form Greenland to Newfoundland, which is 1,000 km. The first voyage of the Columbus expedition sailed from the Mediterranean to Cuba, which is 7,000 km. The Norse island hopped over the course of centuries, which is not unimpressive but not unique, abbos island hopped on primitive rafts across entire Indian and Pacific oceans, thousands of years earlier. The two are not comparable.
trial and error, just like every other civilized people living next to a sea for long enough.
>How did europeans learn
As for almost everything: by copying the Arab-Muslim world which was the brain of the known world.
Cope kang, clinker built ships are a Viking design
Muslims copied persian and greek shit. Your most impressive place of worship, the hagia sophia was built by christians.
Only to later get ablosutely mogged by iberians out of europe and the New World.
10000 years of incremental improvements
I guess you wanted to mean Iberians, the caravel and galleons are totally from portuguese and castillian design
Viking design that they developed on
The design is a derivation from Italian boats, the Carracks, commonly used in the Mediterranean. While other cultures just copied the design, Portugal and Spain created new designs made for transoceanic travels.
It's worth noting they would have had to create ships for both the shallow Med and deep Atlantic right? Ships didn't really go into both during the middle ages is my understanding.
Pretty yes, the atlantic and the mediterranean are two different ambits, back then only iberians had ships in both places, also frogs shared also both atlantic and mediterranean but they didn´t started to sail until 16th century (they just paid italians, catalonians or castillians for naval affairs) and didnt created a navy until 17th century.
What about the frenchie ships in northern france during Hundred Years War that got wrecked? Mercs as well?
Yeah, they just paid castillians and dutch to fight bongs for them
> but they didn´t started to sail until 16th century (they just paid italians, catalonians or castillians for naval affairs)
Incorrect. While it's true that the French employed Genoans frequently, they had their own ships both in the Mediterranean (Marseille had its own colonies all the way up to the Levant and Egypt) and in the Atlantic, Normandy and the Bretons both had strong naval traditions
Intelligence.
Why is it so curved horizontally?
>see log float
>hold log to float across stream
>attach multiple logs to float across stream without getting wet
>shape logs to carry more, more comfortably
>shape logs in different ways for max buoyancy and safety
>use paddles to float anywhere you want
>use sheets for wind to push you for free
>make things bigger and more intricate
>pillage and enslave the planet
Time to play Anno 1404
Copying from the east
Racial superiority.
manifest destiny
>older civs make simpler boats
>euros decide to improve their boats with sturdier construction and novel designs
European ships were dominatong long tange Mediterranean trade since the 11-12th century
Catalan power.
Theft of design and knowledge of how to build one.
The problem is not the ship, it's the food and navigation.
One, you don't want to have your crew go insane or die of scurvy.
And two, you need to know where you're going to, at least a compass and sextant.
eurorangutans were comparing pointy sticks while the noble people of the Middle East were doing exactly as you said
>WE WUZ EXPLORERS NIGGA
>never strayed too far off sight of land
Mudslime cope, also discovering and settling the new world is not a white achievement either, its an iberian one
>Vikings and some Italian guy discover the new world
>its a Iberian achievement
lmao
Columbus would have never sailed if Castiians didn't gave him ships, a crew and material for the travel, he was rejected in Portugal and Francel So yeah, it was a Castilian achivement at the end of the day.
Vikings by the other side never reached America.
Polynesians did it first
Out of spite for V*netians and *ttomans
Venetians also had oceanic ships
>How did europeans
Iberians you mean
iberians were the first to make it intercontinental, then the rest of the europeans followed
They were not cucked by bugman philosophies like Confucianism
A huge desire to be as far away as possible from white women
