What else can I help you with?
Did The Chinese developed a way to move the sails of ships that allowed ships to sail into the wind for the first time?
There is definitely two ways of doing things in this world; the Eastern (Oriental) way and the Western (Occidental) way. Eastern ships used square rigged sails whilst Western ships did not. It's now being discovered that the "ancient" Chinese may have sailed into North America (stone anchors have been found up some of the rivers in North America).It appears that both Oriental & Occidental mariners were capable of sailing into the wind. Who was first? Might have to experiment with some model ships: if the Chinese square rigged vessels can sail into the wind...then there's your answerANSWER: YesGot it right out of my social studies book.
