I received a ship with a small vessel with 3 masts and were able to
carry objects until 50 tons. I named it, the Mattew. I was
also given an opportunity to sail with about 18 men, including a crew of
Bristol seamen, two Bristol merchants, a Burgundian and a Genoese barber. I
couldn't wait to go on a voyage! My crew and
I also got ready with some
technologies too such as Astrolabes (calculating latitudes), maps ( to know
where we are), compasses ( enabled sea men to find their bearing in the fog),
Cross-staffs ( used to measure the angle of the Sun or a star above the
horizon), Nocturnal and Quadrants (Measuring and timekeeping instrument), Hour
glass, minute glass, Sun-dial and Almanacs ( which forecast where the sun,
moon, planets are going to be). I guess I'm ready now!!!
