Early Explorers
Introduction Task Resources Process ... Evaluation Introduction The once blue sky has turned a dirty shade of gray. The wind begins to howl. The expansive ocean around you heaves and boils. Your small wooden ship groans as large waves break over its bow. Storms at sea were just one of many risks early explorers faced as they set out against the breaking waves of their own shore, and sailed toward distant and unknown lands. The millennium is a time to retell, relate and reflect on the past. What better way to achieve this goal than to hold a reunion, An Early Explorer Reunion. We will invite the early explorers to an unforgettable event filled with tales and glory. We will have a chance to meet these wonderful men face to face and to discover the stories they have kept with them for so many years. The Task Early explorers plotted their courses carefully on navigational charts. Captains and others on board also kept logs or diaries during their journeys. Your team task is to investigate the voyages of one early explorer of the New World. You will explore web sites containing information and graphics about the life of an early explorer. This information will help you put yourself in the boots of the explorers. Through the eyes of your explorer, you will be asked to keep a daily log of your findings and reflect on your accomplishments each day. You will prepare a skit and produce a pop-up book about the explorer. Back to the top Resources You will utilise the Internet, classroom text, and a blank Logbook.

Renaissance Trade Routes
THE LIFE BLOOD OF THE NEW WORLD
Trade Routes Enlarge the World
At first the wealth of the East trickled into Western Europe mainly by overland routes. Goods changed hands many times before they reached the consumer, and at each exchange the cost increased. Shipping costs were also high. Goods were transported by camel or horse caravans, each animal carrying only a comparatively small load. After 1453 the Moslem Turks controlled Constantinople, which was the crossroads of important trade routes. They permitted cargoes from the East to pass through the city only on their own terms.
Western European merchants thought that if they could find sea routes to the Orient they could import goods directly to their own cities. Soon they were prepared to outfit ships for sea captains sailing in search of new routes. Each contributed only a portion of the expense, so that no one would be completely ruined if the venture failed. They also secured the king's approval of their enterprises and his promise to defend their claims to lands discovered along the way. The king of Spain always demanded a fifth of the gold and silver found by his explorers.
The Italian port cities were satisfied with their monopoly of the old routes. The Scandinavian countries were far removed. Germany was split into many small states. Thus the work of discovery fell to Portugal, Spain, England, and France.

TONI ONLEY
Toni Onley, the flying artist, is one of the most highly respected landscape artists working in Canada today. He is a modern day explorer with an insatiable curiosity to travel to all reaches of the world in search of line, shape and colour. While he is best known for his watercolours and prints, it is his unmistakable style and succinct vision that sets him apart from other artists. Toni Onley was born in 1928 on the Isle of Man, off the west coast of Britain in the Irish Sea. The Isle of Man was a perfect setting for a perceptive youngster to explore the landscape. While loving to draw and paint from every early age, he credits the influence of his grandmother for instilling in him a love of the afternoons through glens and mountains, along coastal trails, she with her book of verse and me with my box of watercolours. We would rest on the brow of a hill, I would paint and she read to me Wordsworth or Keats and thus began a life long quest for the young artist. Following grade school at the age of 14, he enrolled in the Douglas School of Art and began a formal education which included an introduction to drawing, watercolour painting and etching. Difficult financial times following the Second World War forced the Onley family to emigrate to Canada in 1948 and, after a brief stay in southern Ontario, they settled in Penticton, British Columbia.

CERMENHO, SEBASTIAN
DE AVILES, PEDRO MENENDEZ

Captain Pedro Menendez de Aviles (Feb. 15, 1519-Sept. 17, 1574) was a brutal Spanish sailor, soldier, explorer, and conquistador. The King of Spain sent Aviles to Florida in the New World, to start a Spanish settlement (St. Augustine, in northeastern Florida), and to decimate a nearby French settlement (Fort Caroline). For more information on De Aviles, click here DE FUCA, JUAN
Juan de Fuca (15-1601?) was a Greek navigator who sailed for Spain under a Spanish name; his original name was Apostolos Valerianos. De Fuca sailed up the western coast of North America from Mexico to Vancouver Island in 1592, looking for a passage from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. He was perhaps the first European to see this area. He sailed through the Strait of Juan de Fuca (which was named for him in 1725) and believed it to be the beginning of a route to the Atlantic Ocean (it is not). This strait connects the Pacific Ocean to the Puget Sound and the Georgia Strait, between the Olympic Peninsula of Washington state, USA, and Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. After sailing back to Acapulco, Mexico, de Fuca was not rewarded by Spain for his journey, and his discovery of the strait was not entirely believed until Captain Vancouver retraced de Fuca's route 200 years later. After this journey, de Fuca returned to Greece.

Maps
16th Century
The "Behaim Globe" of 1492 the same year that Columbus set out on his first voyage depicts an empty ocean between Europe and Asia. Ten years later, the "Cantino Chart" (1502), originated by the survivors of the Gaspar Corte-Real voyages, was the first to depict any part of Canada. In the north central part of the chart is the southern tip of Greenland and the east coast of Newfoundland. A different outline of this area appeared a few years later with the La Cosa (1500-08), Contarini (1506) and Ruysch (1507) world maps, based on the hypothesis that Greenland and Newfoundland were joined, all part of a vast northeastern extension of Asia. The Ruysch map shows the earliest surviving place name in Canada: "In. Baccalauras" is now Baccalieu Island off Breakheart Point, between Trinity and Conception Bays. Universalis Cosmographis
Subsequent voyages by Verrazano (1524) and Gomes (1525) coasted from Florida to Newfoundland. Although they could not find a through-passage, they produced rough charts of the coast. The best of these were Spanish charts by Ribeiro (1529) and Santa Cruz (1541). All of these charts show Cabot Strait as a bay, and some, such as those by Santa Cruz, depict Nova Scotia as an island.

Nova et Aucta Orbis Terrae Descriptio ad usum Navigantium… , by Gerard Mercator, 1569
Few printed maps of the period deserve consideration. The exception is the famous world chart by Gerard Mercator (1569). It introduced the Mercator map projection on which a straight line is a line of constant compass bearing. As such it became indispensible to navigators and consequently much copied. Practically all the maps showing Canada, to the end of the 16th century, were based on Mercator's map.

1.2 Queen Elizabeth’s Hab
"Opportunity, not necessity, is the mother of invention," says urban planning philosopher Jane Jacobs. This epigram should be tattooed onto every garage inventor, technological utopianist – and space advocate. For decades, we’ve been discussing the virtues of the High Frontier and making the case for Mars, but a genuine calculation of opportunity has yet to be convincingly made. There are profound reasons why we don’t have cheap access to space and settlements on Mars. If we don’t understand those reasons, we’ll never overcome them. As in so many things Martian, there’s an Arctic analog to our shortcomings in space. We know that for many centuries, the New World was just barely within the technological reach of northern Europeans, and that the Norse established settlements there. But at the dawn of the modern Age of Exploration in the late 15 th century, Europeans had vastly less knowledge of that new world than we do of Mars. Following up on legend and rumor, John Cabot discovered "New Found Land" in 1497. Cabot was on the very bleeding edge of exploration technology: when a recreation of his ship sailed on the 500 th anniversary of his voyage, replete with added modern conveniences, the crew found conditions and handling unendurable. Today no lands and titles await a transatlantic sailor, and we would demand a steady deck, a warm, dry cabin and vermin-free food as necessities. But opportunity - in the form of royal rewards for imperial expansion - made the cramped, unhealthful, dangerous trip worthwhile.

I MAGES OF THE N EW W ORLD

This section of the exhibition shows the evolving geographic views of North America—from the first maps to represent the New World as continents to the beginning of French exploration in the Mississippi Valley. When Europeans learned of the immense new continents that blocked their way to Asia, they did not abandon hope of finding a direct passage to the Orient. Geographic thinking shifted to the possibility that the new land masses could either be bypassed altogether, passed through via straits, or traversed on short overland routes. Vasco Núñez de Balboa found such a land route in Central America when he crossed the isthmus of Panama to the “Southern Sea”—in 1513. In 1524 Giovanni da Verrazano, a Florentine employed by the king of France to find a passage to the Pacific Ocean, mistook the large body of water to the west of the Outer Banks of North Carolina for the Pacific Ocean. The map by Sebastian Münster ( Item 2 ) shows this false “Sea of Verrazano.”—Nearly a century later, John Farrer’s 1652 map of Virginia, which located the Pacific Ocean just over the Blue Ridge, confirmed the persistence of this yearning to find an easy route to Asia (see Item 6 By the 1600s, hope for a Panama-like isthmus crossing in North America faded. Moreover, once the Spanish gained control of the southern sea routes, French and English efforts to reach Asia shifted northward in the quest to find a Northwest Passage. Seamen from several generations—including Jacques Cartier, Martin Frobisher, Henry Hudson, Samuel de Champlain, and others—searched for this route across the continent. These explorers made several discoveries of “passages”—which were later proven false or nonviable, but their efforts added the St. Lawrence River, the Great Lakes and the Hudson Bay to the maps of North America. All of the maps in this section show some form of Northwest Passage. The quest to find this route persisted until Captain James Cook finally disproved the existence of the Northwest Passage in 1778.

Question/Problem 2: Describe the reasons for and the outcomes of the European explorers between 1492 and 1620
Contents Objectives Description of lesson/activity Resources
Objectives: The students will be able to:
  • describe the goals and accomplishments of an individual explorer.
  • determine the exploration policy of one European country.
  • rank and defend the exploration achievements of competing European countries.
  • gather relevant information from a variety of resources. Description of lesson/activity:
  • The students will have completed the research and class discussions about the situation in Europe during the 1400s which caused the Europeans to explore. Students have also identified the attributes necessary for an explorer. Students will now ex amine the lives and explorations of several individual explorers.
  • Rather than dwell on a chronology of explorers and accomplishments, the activity has been designed to emphasize the in±depth research of a few explorers and to use this research to infer the exploration policies of the countries involved.
  • The students should be divided into groups of three. One student from each group should be assigned to gather information on three explorers from Spain; the second student should gather information on explorers from France; and the third on explo rers from England and the Netherlands. Spain and France were highlighted because they were the leading countries during this time period. England and the Netherlands were examined together because they had similar exploration policies and were no t as prominent as the others in the search for new lands. Portugal was not included because their early discoveries were dealt with in the first part of this unit as the cause for other Europeans to explore. Fact sheets have been provided for the following explorers:
