Introduction to the story of Chinese and foreign navigators, to the story of three navigators

Zheng He, Captain Cook, Luffy.

From 1405 to 1433, Zheng He led his fleet to the Western Ocean seven times, and Zheng He's fleet adopted the world's most advanced ocean-going navigation technology at that time, which could accurately determine the route and position of the navigation area, and effectively use the monsoon current to sail.

Magellan From 1519 to 1522, Magellan's fleet made the first human voyage around the earth, ending the debate between the place and geography of the earth, and confirming that the earth is a sphere.

Columbus discovers the New World In August 1492, Columbus set sail from Port Barros with three ships and sailors, crossed the Atlantic, reached the Bahamas, Cuba, Haiti, etc., and later made three westward journeys to Jamaica, Boro, Rico, and the Caribbean coast of Central and South America.

Columbus, Magellan, Zheng He. Christopher Columbus, explorer, colonist, and navigator, Columbus's voyages brought about the first continuous contact between Europe and the Americas, and ushered in a great era of European exploration and colonization of overseas territories that would continue for centuries.

Magellan, explorer, navigator, colonist, Portuguese, served for Spain** expedition, leading a fleet to complete the circumnavigation of the world.

Zheng He, a navigator and diplomat of the Ming Dynasty of China, Zheng Tuantong and seven voyages to the Western Ocean, completed the feat of great friends in human history.

Famous navigators are:Columbus, James Cook,Magellan, da Gama, Bartolomé as Kaiu Dias, Prince Enrique, Zheng He, etc.

Nautical:

Navigation is the activity of human beings to sail on the sea, cross the ocean, and travel from one land to another. In the past, it was an adventurous behavior, because Bi Chun's geographical knowledge of human beings was limited, and the other side was an unknowable world. The bravery of the early voyagers is well known, and they continue to make up for the backward seafaring technology of the old era with great innovations.

When the early Viking was sailing, the captain was very familiar with the surface of the sea and the natural objects in the sea, such as birds, fish, water halls, driftwood, and seaweed.

Water color, ice field reflections, clouds, wind, etc.

1. Columbus was engaged in seafaring activities all his life. He moved to Portugal and then Spain. Believe in the theory of the shape of the earth, and believe that from Europe to the west to India and China in the east.

With the support of the King of Spain, he made four voyages (1492 1493, 1493 1496, 1498 1500, 1502 1504). A route across the Atlantic to the Americas was opened. It has successively arrived in the Bahamas, Cuba, Haiti, Dominica, Trinidad and other islands.

2. James Cook, also known as Captain Cook, was a British Royal Navy officer, navigator, explorer, and cartographer. Cook served in the British merchant navy as a young man, and after joining the Royal Navy in 1755, he fought in the Seven Years' War and later helped map much of the mouth of the St. Lawrence River during the Battle of Quebec.

After the war, several detailed maps were produced for the island of Newfoundland in the 1760s. Cook's cartographic talents won him the admiration of the Admiralty and the Royal Society, leading to his appointment as captain of the Endeavour in 1766, and his first voyage to explore the Pacific. On February 14, 1779, Cook and his crew were killed in a fight with the islanders of Hawaii during their third exploration of the Pacific Ocean.

3. Ferdinand Magellan, Portuguese explorer, navigator, colonist, and explorer for Spain. Magellan's first crossing of the Pacific Ocean produced a revolution in geography and the history of Keb's navigation.

It proves that most of the Earth's surface is not land, but oceans, and that the oceans around the world are not isolated from each other, but a unified and complete body of water. In this way, it played a pioneering role in the navigation career of future generations.

4. Vasco da Gama, born in Sines, Portugal, the generation of the Count of Vidigra, a Portuguese navigator and explorer, was a pioneer of the navigation route from Europe around the Cape of Good Hope to India.

Vasco da Gama was the great discoverer of geography who opened up the road from Europe around the Cape of Good Hope to India, and promoted the development of Eurasia. Before the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, Europe mainly passed through this route to the countries bordering the Indian Ocean and China. The opening of this route was also the beginning of the colonization of Asia by Portugal and other European countries.

5. Bartoromeu Miu Dias (c. 1451-1500), a Portuguese navigator, first made an expedition to Mossel Bay at the Cape of Good Hope, the southernmost tip of Africa, in the spring of 1488, laying the foundation for another Portuguese navigator da Gama to open a new navigation route to India.

1.In the Ming Dynasty, Lu Zhi Zheng He led a huge fleet of long-distance ships on seven voyages, visiting many countries in the western Pacific and Indian Oceans, and deepening China's friendly relations with Southeast Asia and East Africa. At one point, the fleet was suddenly attacked by pirate interceptors.

Zheng He calmly commanded his soldiers to defeat the pirates, killing more than 5,000 people, burning ten pirate ships, capturing seven, and capturing the pirate leader alive.

2.Christopher Columbus was an Italian navigator who made four voyages to discover the American continent, opened a route across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas, and proved that the earth is round. Although Columbus set foot in the New World of America, he thought it was Asia.

Because at that time people did not know that between Europe and Asia, there was an America.

3.Magellan was a famous Portuguese navigator and explorer who led a fleet of ships to complete the first ever circumnavigation of the world. Changtong is recognized by the world as the first person to sail around the world.

When Magellan's fleet sailed into the endless ocean, the sea was calm and calm, what a peaceful ocean! Magellan then affectionately referred to the Great South Sea as the "Pacific Ocean."

1. Magellan (Magellan, Ferdinand), a famous Portuguese navigator and explorer, was born in 1480 in a broken knightly family in northern Portugal. Around the age of 10, he entered the royal palace and served as the queen's attendant. At the age of 16, he joined the Portuguese National Maritime Affairs Department, where he became familiar with the various aspects of maritime affairs.

In September 1519, Magellan led a mighty fleet of more than 200 men and five ships from the port of Seville, Spain, to embark on a voyage around the world.

2. After more than two months of ocean drifting fleet, we crossed the Atlantic Ocean to the coast of Brazil. The fleet continued south along the coast, and in January of the following year came to a large wide bay. "The Strait has been found! "The Strait has been found! ”

3. The seafarers cheered with joy, thinking that they had reached the southern tip of America and could enter the new ocean. However, as the fleet progressed through the bay, it was discovered that the sea water had turned into fresh water, and it turned out to be only a wide estuary, which is the outlet of the La Plata River in Uruguay today.

4. The flotilla continued to advance southward. The seasons in the Southern Hemisphere are the opposite of those in the Northern Hemisphere, and in March South America is close to winter, with wind and snow making navigation extremely difficult. At the end of the month, the fleet arrives at the port of San Julián, where it anchors for the winter.

5. Most of the seafarers were discouraged by several failed attempts to explore the strait, and three captains also took the opportunity to oppose Magellan. Magellan devised a plan to quell the rebellion and avoid the half-run end of the expedition.

6. In August, it was the season of spring flowers in this region, and Magellan led the fleet to set off again. Two months later, the fleet discovered another sea at 52 degrees south latitude. This strait is twisted and curved, narrow and wide, and the harbors are staggered and the waves are turbulent.

Magellan sent a ship to explore, but the ship turned around or fled back to Spain.

7. Magellan had no choice but to lead the remaining three ships to grope their way through the strait like a labyrinth. Magellan led the fleet forward with a strong will. After a one-month roundabout voyage through the strait, they finally walked out of the west entrance of the strait and saw the vast sea.

Magellan, who had always been known for his composure and firmness, shed tears with emotion.
