Description

Students sail the high seas with lesser-known ancient seafarers as well as more famous explorers looking for an all-water route to Asia. Beginning in the mid-1400s and closing at the end the 17th century, this story of the Age of Exploration and Discovery is a tale of European nations racing to dominate world trade and foreign markets. It is a narrative that sustains student curiosity with interesting anecdotes and exciting details of the life and times-from the fear of mythical sea monsters to the fears of family left at home.
