Description
Sea fortune has always been an issue of good faith and good navigation. While in antiquity,
fortuna gubernatrix
was praised for shielding the seaborne trade, in the Renaissance
fortuna
symbolized the conquest of chance and danger. Under such auspices, while relying on risk technologies modern seafaring has never lost its adventurous dimension. Understanding their origin remains a challenge for the history of science and the history of literature.
