Horse latitudes
Posted by Marcus on December 17, 2000
I know where the horse latitudes are on the globe and that they are characterized by calm winds. Early sailors would find themselves becalmed for days or weeks at a time at these latitudes. Did the early sailors dump their horses overboard in order to lighten ship and save water, hence the horse latitudes?
