TL;DRAbstract
If I remain with those who follow not in my stepsIt is more bitter than the dangers of a stormy sea.Give me a ship and I will take it through danger,For this is better than having friends who can be insincere …This [ship] is a wonder of God, my mount, my escort.(Oh Lord be generous) In travel, 'tis the house of God itself …I have exhausted my life for science and have been famous for it.My honour has been increased by [scientific] knowledge in my old age.Had I not been worthy of this, kings would not havePaid attention to me.Ahmad Ibn Mājid, Islamic navigator, c. 1475
