Sea Fathers: A Series Of Lives Of Great Navigators Of Former Times

The Sea Fathers is a book written by Clements R. Markham, which tells the stories of some of the greatest navigators of former times. The book takes readers on a journey through the history of seafaring, from the ancient Greeks to the explorers of the 18th and 19th centuries. Through a series of biographical sketches, Markham introduces us to some of the most remarkable sailors, including Pytheas, who explored the Arctic Circle in the 4th century BC, and Vasco da Gama, who discovered a sea route to India in the late 15th century. The book also explores the lives of lesser-known sailors, such as the Polynesian navigators who crossed the Pacific Ocean without the use of instruments. With its vivid descriptions of sea voyages and the people who undertook them, The Sea Fathers is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of navigation and exploration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
