Oceanography Exercise 1 – Time Line of Ocean Exploration Match the persons or groups listed below with the technological advance or accomplishment in the history of ocean exploration. Some names may be used more than once. From your textbook, find the time of the event. On the attached page, create a time line of these events. Mark the event on the vertical time line, and write down the person or group, and the letter of the event (from this page). The left column of the time line is reserved for the major eras in civilization. Find these in a history textbook or on the Internet. (A few of the dates of colonies are not in the book either.) This exercise is not to see how quickly you can find trivia on the Internet, but to have you read carefully the chapter in your textbook on the history of ocean exploration, and to get you to place those events in the larger context of the history of civilization.
