Italy: Detail from an illustration of Venice showing lateen- (triangular-) and square--rigged ships. Illustration by Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590), 16th century.

Venetian naval and commercial power was unrivalled in Europe until it lost a series of wars to the Ottoman armies in the 15th century.

Asia/Indian Ocean: 'East Indies'. Hand-coloured map by Joseph de La Porte (19 January 1714 - 19 December 1779) from his 'Atlas Moderne Portatif', 1799. East Indies is a term used by Europeans from the 16th century onwards to identify what is now known as the Indian subcontinent or South Asia, Southeastern Asia, and the islands of Oceania, including the Malay Archipelago and the Philippines. The term has traditionally excluded China, Japan, and other countries to the north of India and the Himalayas. The names 'India' and 'the Indies', derived from the Indus River in modern-day Pakistan.

East Africa: A map of the east coast of Africa, charted after Vasco da Gama’s 1497-1498 voyage to India, by Diogo Homem (1521-1576), c. 1558. Vasco da Gama (1460/1469 – 24 December 1524) was a Portuguese explorer, one of the most successful in the Age of Discovery, and the commander of the first ships to sail directly from Europe to India. Under the reign of King Manuel I, Portugal discovered Brazil in 1500. Meanwhile, da Gama set sail from Lisbon on July 8, 1497, with a fleet of four ships and 170 men. He sailed around the Cape of Good Hope, before finally landing in India on May 20, 1498.
