          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.

      Viking design that they developed on

      • 2 years ago
        Anonymous

        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.

            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

    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.

          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.
