Bede's monastery at Wearmouth-Jarrow probably communicated with other important monasteries on the Northumbrian coast (Lindisfarne, Whitby, etc) by sea. Its likely that some of Bede's fellow-monks were familiar with sea travel, even if Bede himself wasn't. He may not have had to go very far to find someone with expertise.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901028520813891575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19922276.post-89863310939502972452009-09-25T01:37:47.414+01:002009-09-25T01:37:47.414+01:00I'd guess that Bede also spoke to some sailors...I'd guess that Bede also spoke to some sailors. To a landsman, the fact that tides times vary by location is hard to notice (since you can only see the tide at one place, wherever you are). But knowing the tides is crucial to coastal pilotage, and must have been part of the working knowledge of seamen.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16932015378213238346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19922276.post-17877120517799088172009-09-23T19:58:33.758+01:002009-09-23T19:58:33.758+01:00Jen - I was being 'kreativ' :-)
