A long-time ALL coordinator takes us on a maritime journey and a study of ancient ship design from the earliest papyrus vessels … to the earliest maritime civilizations … to the Vikings and the origins of North Atlantic trade … to Arabian ship designs that open the trade switch to China … to the development of the three-masted ship and global trade routes … to the innovative designs of China and Polynesia.
