For thousands of years, the immense presence of water on this Ocean planet was the main element separating peoples and cultures... until navigation arrived.

In Planet Ocean, we will embark on a journey through time where we will analyze the ships that marked an era, we will meet the navigators who changed our idea of ??the world and the voyages that transformed commerce, art or science. From the first man who clung to a log to avoid drowning to the submarines that managed to reach the seabed of Challenger Deep, these pages illustrate the most exciting journeys and voyages made in recent millennia. With a curious look and compiling little-known anecdotes, Javier Peláez gives us a novel and exciting history of navigation.
