Simon Winchester has written several great books that I've thoroughly enjoyed over the years. He's one of my favorite non-fiction authors. A pair of books called The Atlantic and The Pacific; detailing the history of the ocean, people in it and around it. The Perfectionists, about precision engineering
…the nearest navigable mangrove forests (unless shipworm managed to somehow get carried across the Sinai isthmus) Simon Winchester discusses how Cape Bojador [1] was impassible until 1443 (in his book Atlantic [2]) so it is unlikely that early voyages reached any further south along the coast of West Africa.

…最近的可通航红树林(除非船蛆不知怎么被带过了西奈地峡)。Simon Winchester 在他的书《Atlantic》[2] 中讨论了博哈多尔角(Cape Bojador)[1] 在 1443 年之前都是无法逾越的,因此早期航行极不可能沿着西非海岸到达更南的地方。罗马时期确实有通往红海的运河 [3] 以及成熟的国际贸易体系…
