Why did it used to be harder to sail over deep ocean, compared to shallow waters
In: 152
Because we couldn’t see the land. The depth of water wasn’t the ACTUAL reason. It was just a corollary reason .
For a long time most sea travel happened within 10 miles of land. Otherwise ships didn’t have the advanced mathematical tools like sextants, or compasses to navigate by earths gravity or the stars, making it hard to find home again if you were sailing
