yamms Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 If you could go back to the age of sail and bring one object what would it be? I go between something like a set of blueprints for modern guns, a modern assault rifle, a digital watch, complete set of sea charts, matches or penicillin. The only limits on what you bring is that it has to fit in your backpack. You couldn't bring a modern destroyer etc. What would you bring that would change the course of history in favor of your side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah O'Brien Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I was going to say a GPS, but then I realized it would be useless I would probably go with blueprints for an ironclad and a steam engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justme Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Tough one. Blue prints for a lot of things could be useless if you dont have the advanced tecghniques to make the correct material Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodoreWesley Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Why the blueprints of modern stuff? I thought we all loved this era... Why inspire them to destroy it? I would probably bring a big good 'ol history book, and teach them to not make the same mistakes again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Månis Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 A laptop, a small generator so i could build a small hydro plant to recharge the computer and a 3d-printer. I guess i could create whatever i want with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaleMemes Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I would not bring a weapon. The human ability to destroy itself has evolved way too quickly even without any time travelling help. Penicillin anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
