Matthew Fontaine Maury: The Man Who Revolutionized Ocean Navigation
Description
For centuries, sailors crossed oceans using charts, experience, and accumulated wisdom.
But in the 19th century, one naval officer realized that the logs of countless ships contained something far more valuable: data.
By studying winds, currents, and voyage times, he found ways to make ocean travel faster, safer, and more predictable, helping transform navigation into a science.
... and he did it not on board a ship, but sitting at a desk.
Learn more about Matthew Fontaine Maury and his revolution in ocean travel on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
