Get early episodes & ad-free audio on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DrowsyHistorianThe year is 1519. You’ve joined Magellan’s fleet in search of glory — but the world you discover is endless.From the quiet harbor of Spain to the far edges of the map, the ocean stretches on forever. Days blur. Hunger deepens. The stars change. One by one, the men disappear into silence.What begins as a voyage of discovery becomes something else entirely — a slow descent into monotony, faith, and the indifference of the sea itself.🛏️ Drowsy Historian’s Favorite Sleep ToolsLooking to upgrade your nighttime routine?
