Seafaring in the Pre-Columbian Caribbean
rdfs:comment
Seafaring has played an important role in human history by enabling many prehistoric migration events across the world. Seafaring is especially important in the Caribbean as it represents the only possibility in reaching the Caribbean Islands. Current research has discovered that numerous Pre-Columbian colonisation events occurred in the Caribbean and that an important initial incentive to visit the Caribbean Islands may have been the search for high quality materials, such as flint, clams and oysters and other resources. Although only a limited amount of Pre-Columbian watercraft have been uncovered it has been possible to deduce the appearance and design of some Caribbean canoes. Historical sources offer a plethora of descriptions regarding the appearance and use of Amerindian canoes, how

Seafaring has played an important role in human history by enabling many prehistoric migration events across the world. Seafaring is especially important in the Caribbean as it represents the only possibility in reaching the Caribbean Islands. Current research has discovered that numerous Pre-Columbian colonisation events occurred in the Caribbean and that an important initial incentive to visit the Caribbean Islands may have been the search for high quality materials, such as flint, clams and oysters and other resources. Although only a limited amount of Pre-Columbian watercraft have been uncovered it has been possible to deduce the appearance and design of some Caribbean canoes. Historical sources offer a plethora of descriptions regarding the appearance and use of Amerindian canoes, however, it is difficult to assess to what extent the Caribbean canoes from the 15th century AD are similar to their counterparts around 5000 years earlier.
