Not Afraid of Storms: The Process of Learning How to Sail in the Middle Ages
from a quote I found somewhere that said, "I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my boat." which I thought was kind of good.
A large part of my paper is tracking the parallel development of shipbuilding between the Mediterranean and Northern (Viking) seas, which had a hard time communicating with each other after the fall of the Roman Empire, and didn't really have an easier way than via slow overland routes until the Genoans invented the ships and cajones to sail through the Straits of Gibraltar towards the very end of the Middle Ages. So while I spend a LOT of time on the darling Svens and Bjorns, I also can't have a title that favors them while not giving the Giovannis and Marios their due.
