70% of the world's surface is covered with water. For some, the sea proved an impregnable wall. You can't walk on water, nor swim very far. If you lived on an island, you were stuck. Going out in a small boat could have you destroyed by a storm, or starved to death in the middle of nowhere. But for those able to harness the dangers of the ocean, it meant total freedom.

I wrote this script during summer and didn't write down the sources I used, so I don't remember all of them. But it's mostly based on Jan Glete's books:
Warfare at Sea, 15001650 Jan Glete
