A Basic Timeline For Explorers
As an explorer I found it very difficult to
embrace the whole picture and who fitted where in
the scheme of things, what they did and who they
were, where they came from and where they went
to, seemed to just bring confusion. So this
timeline is my attempt to try and bring all those
names that we are familiar with in to some sort
of order and. To achieve this I thought a
timeline would help. I am sure there will be
some errors as I journey to learn I ask for
your forgiveness. So many have been missed who
lived beyond these shores, may be a part 2 is
needed but that is for another season! Some
practical information you will need to press F5
to run the show the links are on each of the
pictures and require you to press the mouse
button. Just have fun and enjoy the journey.
