Speaker: Simon Hardern, Admiral (Ret'd), Royal Navy
About the event:
Did you know that only 26% of the world's oceans have been surveyed to modern standards? And that we know more about the Moon or Mars that we do about the seabed beneath our feet? If we tried to map the oceans like Google maps our streets, it would take a mind-boggling 600 years! Simon takes us on a wild ride from the days of paper charts (where finding your way felt like an ancient treasure hunt) to today’s high-tech world where cruise ships are practically guided by magic GPS.
