Age Of Discovery (1957)

Suffers from significant fillm emulsion damage at the beginning. The film narrates the story of European explorers during the Age of Discovery, focusing on the French, English, and Dutch efforts to find new routes to Asia. It highlights key figures such as John Cabot, who discovered parts of North America, and explorers like Giovanni da Verrazzano, Jacques Cartier, and Sir Francis Drake, who sought the elusive Northwest Passage. The film also discusses the role of monarchs and merchants in financing these explorations, the challenges faced by explorers, and the eventual shift from exploration to colonization as interest in the New World grew.
