The Faithful Navigator traversed the Atlantic Ocean and returned to his home port four times using only a compass and dead reckoning. The Nina and the Pinta could hardly be called “ships”. Also, Longitude was unknown at the time. We now have ships with GPS and all the modern navigation aides.......that sink without a trace. Columbus charted the way to the New World. A feat the Romans and the Greeks never imagined.
