Who Discovered America? History on Tap

Who Discovered America? History on Tap

Presented by Cape Cod Maritime Museum at Cape Cod Maritime Museum

Join Larry Brown and delve into the topic of who really discovered America!

“I'm offering the premise that the Americas have been discovered over and over since ancient times. Until the European discovery of the westerly wind system, old world Mariners had ships that could reach the new world by accident or design but no understanding of how to get home again. So the program reviews the kinds of ships and their capabilities possessed by the ancient Egyptians, Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans - and then by the Vikings, the first European group to know about the westerlies.” - Larry Brown
