About Famous Voyages
Most of these men never saw the maps we hang on our walls today. They sailed with a compass and a log line, leaned hard on nerve, and a good many didn't come home. Between Henry Hudson's bay in the north and Magellan's strait in the far south, the whole outline of the world got drawn one coastline at a time.
