Bartolomeu Dias got to the Cape of Good Hope by mistake on his journey back to Portugel- he saw it by surprise when they were sailing passed. At this time, they were heading home after only getting half way to Africa, because the crew told Dias that they refused to go any further.

Where did Columbus travel?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Between 1492 and 1504, Columbus made four voyages to the “New World.” He did not know he had discovered a new continent, but thought he was just off the coast of Asia. The first voyage saw him in Cuba, Hispaniola, and San Salvador. His second voyage he explored the same areas as the first trip but also touched on Purto Rico and Jamaica. On the last two voyages he sailed along the northern coast of South America and explored the coast of Central America. This site has a map showing the voyages. encarta.msn.com/media_461514477/Four_Voyages_of_Columbus.html

Why is scurvy not a problem now like it was before?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Voyages are normally shorter now, so there's less chance of developing scurvy - which we now understand is caused by a lack of vitamin C. In the past, maritime travellers rarely had access to fruit, fresh vegetables, or fresh meat. Without these, they had no way to get vitamin C and so would come down with scurvy.

Will Britannic be raised?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not likely,

When the H.M.H.S. Britannic was sailing on the near the coast of Greece, either a torpedo or mine struck the starboard side of the bow. That fatal blow made a huge hole on the side. but when she was falling to the ocean floor, she was still going at full speed. When she finally struck bottom, the bow was crushed like a tin can.

Today the ship is in considerable condition. The bow on the other hand is not salvageable. But since it has been under since November 21th 1916, the safety factor of the ship is very dangerous. Plus Britannic was one of the 3 Olympic class ships of the white star line. At the time the Olympic class ships were the biggest moving objects on the planet. If someone wound try to raise the ship, it wound take a massive crane to lift it. But if you were to go that route to raise the ship, it would have to be raised in sections. it would cost over 556 million dollars to raise the ship. But at that price tag, you might as well make another version of the ship.

So in the end it would be just too hard to raise the ship.

How many people fit on a boat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As many as the boat can hold.

_ That depends on the boat's capacity.

As far as we know, boats have different sizes depending to the people who created it. So the capacity of the boat to carry a passenger also depends on it's size.

For all the Children who are Ruined by shame

Mirror child

The image of a precious dove

Dancing barefoot on the beach

Drinking in love and sunshine

full of smiles

never having to die.

Mere child

Dreaming awhile on a school title

Learning to carry books for miles.

Crayons, pencils, stencils

Nothing you need to do but

Sing and carry the wind on

Your wings.

Mirror child

Like daddy or mommy

Carrying so many burdens for

A little person

All the time

Not able

To catch the spies and

Spiders.

Go back to the skies,

Little dove

And play with the eagles who tamed this land

Until you are a spirit so good and pure

That you will truly guide the directions of our

Bloodied hands.

What names were given to the sister ships of RMS Titanic?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer: Olympic and Britannic

The Royal Mail Steamer Olympic and the Royal Mail Steamer Britannic were both built in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Olympic was the first sister to be launched, ahead of Titanic, Britannic (formerly designated Gigantic) was launched much later though from the same slipway. RMS Britannic was commissioned by the British Government for use as a hospital ship, during which time the name was changed to match its duty: HMHS Britannic. It sank shortly after either hitting a mine or being torpedoed (the reason is still uncertain but the former is considered most likely). RMS Olympic was also utilised in war service, however it ended its long life in 1935 at the breakers yard due to old age. However during its service it sank a German U-Boat by ramming it, also sank many ships and damaged others (accidentally, the most famous of which was the Nantucket Lightship. During this incident 7 of the 11 crew members of the lightship were killed when the Olympic cut it in two in heavy fog. The Olympic was only doing 3-4 knots at time of impact.
