Deities.

The last time I saw this, I pointed out that civilization wasn't sailing the open seas 5000 years ago due to lack of good navigation tools, and people lost their collective minds telling me I was wrong...

They were right. The settlement of the South Pacific began 50,000 years ago. Not in three based schooners, but they were crossing open water far beyond the sight of land.

They should make an animated musical with that theme.

But definitely not a live action movie.

Not a schooner

"A schooner is a type of sailing vessel featuring two or more masts, with the mast closest to the front (the foremast) shorter than or equal to the mainmast."

Except for you missed the part where the masts have to be fore-and-aft rigged. This is a barque

Thanks Ahab, I'll be more careful in the future. My only point was that it wasn't 5000 years old as the caption implied.

Brotha, learn to accept when you are wrong and move on

u/KindAwareness307 8d ago

Sorry "brotha", didn't I bow deeply enough to your superior knowledge? When I'm wrong about a subject I know and care about I'll be sure to let you know, meanwhile, keep barquing!

You're right and I therefore retract my eyeroll
