Surdy full-rigged ships, the magnetic compass, astrolabe, tradewinds, and celestial navigation for latitude only. Natives used coastal routes and avoided the main ocean.
Unless they were Polynesian... They're just built different, striking out across the Pacific in a dugout canoes with outriggers to spread pigs and Kava root to the new world 😅 Max Respect 💪🏼
Think some never made it and hence you don’t hear about them. The ones do, are the ones in the history books.
It’s amazing to me that important people like John Adams made the trip multiple times. Seems lucky to survive just one crossing
The sailors had big brass ones that dragged them down if they fell overboard. So, they tried their best not to fall overboard.
They didn't. Just lies propagated by big ocean. Thalassophobia is a thing for a reason.
/s
I guess they just stayed below and shit their pants until the storm was over. 🤷♀️

Plus they had the Heart of Te Fiti.
Te Whiti in Maori.
Nice 🌺🌴🚣♂️🏝🌊💪
Astrolube?
They probably avoided bad weather like no sailing in winter. And many sank.

I said the same thing 😅
Great minds think alike 🤣
Change some to many. Very many.
Study the Vikings. Balls as big as cantalopes.
My thoughts exactly! Vikings were crazy tough!! Emphasis on crazy (read big balls of steel)!!
Lots of myth there...and many died...
That's it! They used their balls as floating devices.
Most probably died. The lucky ones wrote in the history books
In fear
Yeah not many people survived travelling this kinda sea
Wooden ships and iron men
Or men in irons
Very carefully
Do you think that now this is safe?
Stay close to shore and lie about it.
With modern technology and engineering, we don’t need to practice magic anymore.
They mostly died
Less successfully
They didn't. They only traveled outside of storm season.
They used Tartarian Technology
Just prayed a lot
As carefully as possible. Many sank.
In vessels full off pee....
They had balls. And rum in flask.

By becoming submariners.
Carefully
British crazy brave - built an empire from an island on the back of wooden boats
with a boat
Similar to this just unpowered and wood
There must have never been such a terrifying wave in the old days.
In a wooden sailing tub... Also lots of them died....
By boat
In paper boats no less
