Five centuries ago, a major revolution overturned traditional ship designs;
ships were transformed from small coastal transports into larger ocean-going vessels capable of long-distance exploration, with enormous ramifications for the world as Europes age of imperialism and colonialism began. NOVA probes a wreck found off the coast of Sweden in search of clues.
