Oh, dude, like back in the day, explorers like Marco Polo and Christopher Columbus were out there trying to find a shortcut to China. They were all about that spice trade and wanted to avoid paying those crazy high prices. So, yeah, they were basically playing real-life "Where's Waldo?" but with ships and maps.
