  1. Very interesting.

    I would’ve loved to see the same for Portuguese ships. But the Dutch and British routes to Southeast Asia and India show quite nicely how the Portuguese managed to stumble upon Brazil on their way to India, due to the trade winds.

  2. That is fascinating.

    The wind speed one needs a bit of work though.
