The History of the North Atlantic Ocean

Рет қаралды 76,834

Күн бұрын

Thousands of miles of emptiness. Nothing but blue, grey, green and white. Giant waves, shrieking gales, water so cold. This is what millions of people in history had to cross in order to begin new lives. Witnessing the greatest migration of peoples in history as well as the longest and most bitterly fought of all naval battles it connects two hitherto unknown continents. There is perhaps no stretch of water quite as forbidding, no stretch so important to human history as this one. This is the story of the North Atlantic.

So, many of you will have made a subsonic flight across the Atlantic, but how many of you have made the journey by ship, or were lucky enough to travel by Concorde? And how many of you can trace known ancestors who once made that perilous journey across the ocean in centuries past?

I am confused by the video clip immediately preceding that of the SS UNITED STATES, sadly rotting away in Philadelphia. I believe the preceding clip is the RMS QUEEN MARY in Long Beach- but she has only two funnels. Had the aft funnel been removed for repair?

@mikepowell2776 7 ай бұрын

Neat general summary of a complex and controversial (in part) subject. Pre-Columbian crossings are a particularly interesting area, with the possible exception of Norse journeys (and there is some conflict about the details) it’s largely a matter of conjecture. One point; gross tonnage is a measure of capacity, not weight.

It was common knowledge when I was in college in the 70s that Turing used computers to decode German coded messages during WW2. I guess it took another 30+ years for liberal arts majors to learn what Engineers had known for a very long time.

Columbus knew perfectly well the dimensions of planet Earth, like all respectable geographers and astronomers of the era. He would assume the land discovered was far larger, reaching all the way to Asia, ignorant of the existance af a huge ocean to the west of the discovered lands. Only in 1520 did Magellan establish the existance of the vast Pacific Ocean, later confirmed by other explorers whence Central America was transversed.

@marshja56 7 ай бұрын

He knew it was a sphere, not flat. But everything I've read said he both underestimated the size of the Earth and overestimated how far Asia extended to the east. That's why he thought eastern Asia wasn't that far across the Atlantic. If you can provide a source for your claim that Columbus knew the size of the Earth I would be interested in reading that. Otherwise I will go with what I have read.

What is that medieval map around 2:15 ? Given the blackletter hand, but outdated Roman-era information, it must be at least the 12th century, informed by the translation of classical knowledge from Arabic into Latin, but not enough later that the author would have real knowledge brought back by the Age of Exploration.

I dunno how one makes a documentary about the North Atlantic without mentioning the whaling trade.... but here we are. Based in New England, whalers sailed the whole world and discovered numerous islands. They also devastated the whale population. The decline of the whale population and the increasing need for a replacement led directly to the oil industry, which of course changed the whole world.

@Geodiode 6 ай бұрын

It was an omission, you are correct. Whalers were usually the first into an area of sea.
