Once upon a time the only way to travel far was by boat Some of these boats have been remade. I visited one of them in the harbour of Sydney.
These days travelling from one side of the planet to the other does not have to take more than a day. The chances that you don't arrive or return are very slim indeed. You can be catapulted from any culture into any other, completely different, culture in a matter of hours. Centuries ago, it took months to travel around the globe, and the risk of not arriving was very real. You would feel the change of climates, countries, cultures and peoples. So how did our forefathers explore the world before planes were invented? In ships. One such ship was the Dutch Batavia, which stranded on the coasts of Australia in the 17th century.
