About

The early voyages into the deep waters of the Atlantic rank among the greatest feats of exploration. G.J. Marcus looks at the history of these expeditions.

Besides the problem of what these early explorers actually achieved, he poses the even more fascinating question of how they did it, without compass, quadrant, or astrolabe. From the opening descriptions of the launching of a curach on the Aran Islands, through the great pages of the Norse Sagas describing the first recorded sighting of America, the author brilliantly conveys the excitement and danger of the conquest of the North Atlantic.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome images and diagrams.
