While the technology available to Christopher Columbus in 1492 was certainly sufficient to impress his memory firmly upon future generations‚ if he had had access to modern navigational techniques and technology‚ the organization and outcome of his voyages would have been vastly different. Methods of elucidating longitude in Columbus’s time were nonexistent‚ and those for determining latitude could be deeply flawed.
