Around The World in a Hundred Years #3

            In this chapter we will delve into an adventure with the great Bartholomew Diaz. In the lovely month of August. In the, at the time, record breaking year of 1487 Bartholomew Diaz set off on his daring expedition with two ships called Caravels and a simple storage ship. As they were sailing along disaster struck, they were caught in the middle of a huge storm off the shore of Africa. Without anyway to tell where they are or where they are going the crew struggles to stay alive. After 13 days filled with terror, pain, anguish and desperation the storm subsides but not before it has taken the storage ship as payment. Diaz decided it was time to go home so with a little help from the sun and high tech location finders. He set off in the direction home only to find that he was on the wrong side of Africa! During the storm his ships had been blown all the way around the bottom of Africa! As Bartholomew Diaz went back around Africa to go home he was able to draw the bottom of Africa for mapping purposes.
