Roman Ship?
#45
According to Strabo some people tried to cross the Atlantic ocean, but returned when they ran out of supplies. I wonder if really nobody succeeded. Perhaps they simply didn't sail in the right direction to find favorable winds/currents or nobody made it back to Europe.

Quote:It is unlikely that the Atlantic Ocean is divided into two seas, thus being separated by isthmuses so narrow and that prevent the circumnavigation; it is more likely that it is one confluent and continuous sea. For those who undertook circumnavigation, and turned back without having achieved their purpose, say that the they were made to turn back, not because of any continent that stood in their way and hindered their further advance, inasmuch as the sea still continued open as before, but because of their destitution and loneliness.
