FishermenAs well as being excellent sailors and explorers, the vikings were also excellent merchants, as they traded timber for pottery and spices.
What were two reasons why were the first explorers fearful to sail?
Swords, primitive firearms, and smallpox.
Europe.
gold
cannon, swords etc. (NOT SURE)
I believe they had spheres, machetes and hand made weapons.
Spanish came with weapons into North/South America, so all early explorers had weapons.
Clearly, the most important navigational tool available to sailors before was the Stella Maris.

Early navigational tools of European explorers included the compass, astrolabe, and quadrant. These tools helped sailors determine their direction, latitude, and altitude while at sea, making it possible to navigate accurately across oceans.
They were regularly visited by explorers and other sailors. So they would have items to trade and buy. Theirs your answer. Hope it helped :)
Wind was important to early explorers because it powered their ships, allowing them to sail across oceans to reach new lands. Understanding wind patterns helped sailors navigate more efficiently and reach their destinations faster. Additionally, wind could help explorers return home by providing the necessary propulsion for their ships.
