and only in the 1400s did they start going across the oceans

but the rest of the world didn't have a navy

Leif Erikkson has joined the chat

i dunno, there's gotta be some voyages where they had to cross through atlantic storms

and u always hate neighhours worse

i think it would've been an investment to make a ship tougher in case of storms

leif erikson isnt as big a deal

he sailed to greenland

even a giant ocean liner can't withstand some storms

and then the norse went west

a lot closer

a modern ocean liner

less time spent in the ocean

ships took alot of work and were mainly done for defense not exploration

but it's insurance, to make it tougher so that it has a better chance of surviving the voyage

@What Would Jack Conte Do? the tougher a ship is the worse the ship is

for practiocal reasons

why you may ask?

tough ships are slow

send too many ships away and risk invasion

heavier = slower

ships ar emade to move cargo and men

by tough, i meant seaworthy or survivable

why woud you want a slow ship?

build too many ships and start a war

especially when the meditteranean sea is very calm

yes, that's why the atlantic was avoided for thousands of years

ships ARE ... but back then they weren't

roman roads are narrow as fuck, fam

I hate that a perfect meme is ruined by 'cooncil'

Jack, that doesn't take into account a lot of material properties

i have spent MANY, MANY weeks at sea

Idgaf

to be fair

kinda miss it

COONcil

lmao

roman roads arent regularly torn up to work on underground wires and pipes
