This CD, issued by SoftKey Multimedia Inc Subjects range from entertaining trivia to fascinating historical information. The "Navigational Instruments" icon in the Columbus story has an adequate discussion of the instruments and methods whereby the early ocean sailors managed journeys on the open seas. Their use of the quadrant, compass, and "dead reckoning" for navigation would amaze travelers of our century who are accustomed to pinpoint radar positioning. For Columbus and his contemporaries, reckoning wrong meant that the phrase "dead reckoning" could (and often did) take on a literal meaning!

Colonial Wars The Age of Exploration Though Columbus was not the first to discover the New World, his landing in the New World in 1492 is important: it ushered in an era of unprecedented European exploration and settlement of the Americas. This period is known as the Age of Exploration. During this age, European explorers searched for trade routes, overseas wealth, and adventure. Technological innovations spurred the exploration boom. A “maritime revolution” in Europe saw the invention of the the astrolabe, a device used to determine latitude; the caravel, an large ship of unprecedented speed; and the magnetic compass.

EARLY EXPLORATION Vikings Marco Polo Crusaders WORLD EXPLORATION Magellan Dias Balboa AMERICAN EXPLORATION Columbus Cortes Pizarro MISCELLANEOUS EXPLORATION Vespucci Hudson DeSoto Cabot VIKINGS (By David Lara) The Vikings were bold seafaring people from Scandanavia. Between 700 and 1000, their population grew steadily and food was scarce. This caused the Vikings to turn their long boats west in search of new lands. In the mid-800s, they settled in Iceland. From there, the Vikings pushed even farther west. In 982, a red-haired, great bearded explorer named Eric the Red sailed to an island he called Greenland. Actually Greenland had more ice and harsher climate than Iceland, but Eric hoped the pleasant-sounding name of Greenland would attract farmers. In 1001, Eric's son, Lief Ericsson set sail to investigate reports of yet another new land. Lief's crew sailed west and south. In time, they came to a place where wheat and grapes grew wild. Lief named it Vinland or Wineland. Viking sagas, or stories of brave deeds, described Vinland as a mild plentiful land. According to sagas, Lief returned to Greenland, but one of his friends, Thorfinn Karlsefni (KAHRL sehf ne), decided to build a settlement in Vinland. He took a group of about 150 settlers with him.

A Brief History of Canada Pre-History to 1599 Early Exploration Introduction In the beginning, North America and Canada did not exist... at least in the minds of Europeans. They knew of Cathay and of the rich trade possibilities there, but the ocean to the west was a barrier which seemed too vast to cross. When overland trade routes became blocked and the voyage around Africa was found to be long and dangerous, the European nations began to look westward for a shorter journey. Little did they know that they would discover a whole new world complete with its own unique peoples and riches. This section deals with the discovery and early explorations of Canada and the attempts by both the English and French to settle in and lay claim to the New World. It deals with the first encounters with the Native People and the fragile relationships which developed between the Natives and Europeans, and even among the Europeans themselves. It deals with the development of the fur trade which would effectively change Canada's history forever.

Discovery and Early Exploration, ca. 1000 - 1550 Some Introductory Remarks The broad outlines of the history of trans-Atlantic European voyages of exploration and discovery have been well known for decades. In terms of Newfoundland history, the principal figures for which sufficient evidence exists to give them historical validity include the medieval Norse, followed a few centuries later by John Cabot, the Corte-Real brothers, and Jacques Cartier. Unfortunately, the caution with which historians approach these earlier voyagers is thrown to the wind by many who would like to sensationalize the past by "proving" that Europeans frequently, if not regularly, crossed the Atlantic, not only long before Cabot but also long before the Norse. In The Brendan Voyage (London: Hutchinson, 1978), Tim Severin describes his attempt in a modern version of a curragh to show that Brendan, the medieval Irish monk and saint, could have sailed to North America centuries before the Norse. Alas, the book proves only that Severin does not lack for courage. Those who would like to believe in the voyages of St. Brendan, or the twelfth-century Prince Madoc, or any other fanciful forerunners of the demonstrable voyagers and discoverers, should first read either Stuart C. Brown, "Far Other Worlds and Other Seas: The Context of Claims for Pre-Columbian European Contact with North America," Newfoundland Studies IX: 2(Fall 1993): 235-259, Robert McGhee, "Northern Approaches; Before Columbus: Early European Visitors To the Shores of the `New World',"

Popular Culture: Baseball to Rock and Roll Exploration and Settlement A lthough John Cabot (ca. 1450-1499) established an English claim to the North American continent as early as 1497-1498, more than half a century elapsed before Englishmen turned their attention to the new lands. The most well-known early colony was founded by Sir Walter Raleigh (ca. 1554-1618) on Roanoke Island, off the coast of present-day North Carolina. Raleigh sent groups of settlers for three years, beginning in 1584. Left for three years, the 117 men, women, and children had disappeared mysteriously by the time a relief party arrived in 1590. R aleigh's initiative was successfully imitated by a group of London investors who founded Virginia in 1607. Subsequently, a variety of English settlements took root in North America, conspicuous among which were the religious "plantations" of the Puritans in New England, the Quakers in the Middle Colonies, and the Catholics in Maryland. By the end of the seventeenth century, approximately 250,000 European men and women lived in the area that later became the United States. All but a handful were English. O n the eve of the American Revolution as many as 2,500,000 people lived in the rebellious colonies. Although substantial numbers were Germans, or Africans brought as slaves, the overwhelming majority were English and Scotch-Irish Scots who had settled in northern Ireland. The Scotch-Irish began emigrating in large numbers early in the eighteenth century.

Harbour Picture Cape Spear The sagas or oral stories of the Norse tell of Bjarni Herjulfsson, a Viking who was blown off course while travelling between Iceland and Greenland in 986. His reports of a wooded coastline were an irresistible lure to the timber-poor Norse. Leif Erikson, also called "Leif the Lucky," following Bjarni's route, became the first Viking to land in "Vinland." Here he built sod houses and established the only known Norse settlement in the New World around the year 1000. The sagas describe how Leif the Lucky and later Norse settlers traded and sometimes fought with people they called "skraelings." The sagas say at least one child, Snorri Karlsefni, was born in Vinland before the settlement was abandoned. Although there are no other records of settlement, it is known that the Greenland Norse continued to visit Vinland occasionally as late as 1347. A century later, European fishermen were travelling to Iceland and other sites with Norse inhabitants. Norse settlements in Europe were another point of frequent contact. Some historians believe the continued connection between the Norse and other Europeans helped inspire the voyages of Columbus and Cabot.

See Also John Cabot - Passageways: True Tales of Adventure for Young Explorers JOHN CABOT: THE ENGLISH KING'S ITALIAN NAVIGATOR John Cabot (? - c. 1498) The earliest surviving document related to the Cabot's explorations is a letters patent for a voyage to discover new lands, granted by King Henry VII on March 5, 1496 route to Asia Cabot left Bristol in May 1497. One month later, he saw land and disembarked briefly. He then skirted the shore for some 30 days without seeing anyone, and returned to England at the beginning of August, full of enthusiasm and convinced that he had reached Asia. In fact, Cabot was the first to report on a part of America after Christopher Columbus (1492) but his explorations were in colder regions, on the shores of what is Canada today. His landfall remains unknown. Neither a ship's log nor any authentic account of this voyage has been preserved. It is only because of numerous references found here and there that historians have been able to piece together Cabot's exploration in North America. On the whole, it is agreed that the navigator visited somewhere between Labrador and Cape Breton, most likely the east coast of Newfoundland. Page from Christopher Columbus's account In May 1498, John Cabot left Bristol to undertake another voyage of exploration (his third), from which he never returned. "He only found new lands at the bottom of the ocean" wrote one of his contemporaries. His son Sebastian, himself a navigator, undertook his father's explorations to North America.
