"Following the light of the sun, we left the Old World."- Christopher Columbus
This map shows the transatlantic routes from Spain to the colonies in the Americas during the age of discovery. Today, we can quickly cross that span but back then, without modern navigation tech, it must've been a monumental task.
How difficult it was at that time to cover those distances and how cool is that map!
It's an astonishing feat to cross the ocean in those ships.
