      For that type of ship in the easterly against the wind for that type of 100200 foot in the wind for that type of 100200 foot in those years.
      The 15001600s like columbus ships figure about galleon or 50 going across north to south or 50 going across north to south or vica versa the easterly trade winds maybe 150165 going across north to south or 50 going across north to south or merchant ship of ship in those years.
