It has been proven - based on recovered evidence that the Lusitania was carrying large amount of munitions and therefore was a legitimate target for the Germans. Also it was not in the manifesto of passenger ships that were not supposed to be bombed.
A successful propaganda movie to bring bring the US into the war.
What - all is fair in love and war. Those passengers Guinea pigs for a greater cause.

I dunno how one makes a documentary about the North Atlantic without mentioning the whaling trade. but here we are.
Based in New England, whalers sailed the whole world and discovered numerous islands. They also devastated the whale population. The decline of the whale population and the increasing need for a replacement led directly to the oil industry, which of course changed the whole world.

You Brits and Western Europeans in general hate Brazil (about the video about it. Forget Brazil, it doesn't need you. If it is a third world country, the blame lies not only with us Brazilians, but with you Western Europeans, who exploited the country and today we are forced to live in an unequal, corrupt and violent country because of you.

Neat general summary of a complex and controversial (in part) subject. Pre-Columbian crossings are a particularly interesting area, with the possible exception of Norse journeys (and there is some conflict about the details) it-s largely a matter of conjecture. One point; gross tonnage is a measure of capacity, not weight.

What is that medieval map around 2: 15? Given the blackletter hand, but outdated Roman-era information, it must be at least the 12th century, informed by the translation of classical knowledge from Arabic into Latin, but not enough later that the author would have real knowledge brought back by the Age of Exploration.

So, many of you will have made a subsonic flight across the Atlantic, but how many of you have made the journey by ship, or were lucky enough to travel by Concorde? And how many of you can trace known ancestors who once made that perilous journey across the ocean in centuries past?

I am confused by the video clip immediately preceding that of the SS UNITED STATES, sadly rotting away in Philadelphia. I believe the preceding clip is the RMS QUEEN MARY in Long Beach- but she has only two funnels. Had the aft funnel been removed for repair?

Its going to take 1000 years to completely recover and heal from the North Atlantic slave trade. Why could Portugal just start moving their own people over to work it instead of buying people from the West African kings and kickstarting the whole thing.

It was common knowledge when I was in college in the 70s that Turing used computers to decode German coded messages during WW2.
I guess it took another 30+ years for liberal arts majors to learn what Engineers had known for a very long time.

Excellent video! Congrats!
You should go to China, check their ancient maps and be surprised by their navigation power and the geographic knowledge they had about America long before the European people arrived here.

Why would you deny the suggestions & theories & accounts of ancient world having contact with North America, the Americas only because it wasn-t peer reviewed? -03: 42 Thats quite absurd!

This was such an amazing video. The only flaw I could see was when you called the Lusitania a -Cruise-liner-. However, she was never a cruise ship. She was an ocean liner.

In 1636 my ancestors left Norwich, England and settled in Dedham, Massachusetts. Almost 400 years later I live in Boston only a few miles away.

The term -indian- was used to describe any primitive native peoples inhabiting a foreign land. So the term -indian- is accurate.
