1593. The King of Portugal appoints you captain of a fleet of merchant ships traveling to India to bring back pepper, spices, silk, and other goods that can be sold at a great profit in Europe. Such an assignment is a great honor, but the way to the eastern colonies is long and dangerous. You and your crew will have to travel thousands of kilometers on a sailing ship through storms and tempests, cross two oceans, buy the necessary goods and deliver them to the king. This is a very difficult task that requires exceptional skill on the part of the captain.
You will learn:
- How to navigate a sea route from Europe to India and back, and what dangers await mariners along the way;
- How to steer a sailing ship and locate it on the high seas;
- Who and what to take with you on a long sea voyage to cross two oceans, reach the destination and return home safely;
- How to organize the life and living of several hundred people on the ship during a month-long voyage.
And much, much more...
The book contains more than 40 color illustrations.
