The Role of Nautical Folklore and Weather Prediction
The success of transatlantic voyages was intrinsically linked to navigation, which went beyond mere cartography. Certain elements of maritime practice, though dismissed by modern science, were considered critical components of the trade ecosystem. For instance, the presence of Atlantozoon fluctuans, a microscopic, bioluminescent plankton common in the [Sarga…
