The Maritime Revolution expanded interregional commercial contact, long-distance commerce took place over sea routes rather than land routes increasingly from 1000 to 1300. Various technological advances and commercial changes helped make sea routes safer and more lucrative.

<em>Chinese </em>sailors began using the <em>magnetic needle compass </em>to help the navigate during cloudy weather and on open seas. Prior to the <em>compass</em>, geographical position and direction at sea were primarily determined by the position of celestial bodies. The <em>compass</em> was used in Song Dynasty for maritime navigation by 1111 to 1117. The use of the <em>compass soon developed through Southeast Asia and India. </em>

Commercial cities flourish as a result of long-distance maritime trade, one of the important places that served as prime centers of maritime commerce was the <em>Anchor Of Quanzhou. </em>Sailors leaving Quanzhou and arriving there used large flat-bottomed ships called <em>junks. </em>The <em>junk ship</em> was used during the Middle Ages, it was popularized by the Chinese and it was adjustable and ingenious. This ships were used throughout Asia for extensive ocean trips. They were found principally in China by the great trading Dynasty of the Song. This ships were large enough to carry as many as 500 sailors.

In early modern India and Arabia the latin-rig ship known as the <em>dhow </em>, was used on the waters of the Red Sea, Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf. Seasonal winds known as monsoons were so steady and predictable that navigation using <em>dhows,</em>  was less difficult and dangerous in early times than somewhere else. <em>Dhows </em>were used to carry heavy items such as fruit, fresh water, and other heavy merchandise.

In order to maximize profits early in the nineteenth century, what was a common practice of business owners?
Gekata [30.6K]
In order to maximize profits ,many businessmen in the 19th century resorted to unethical business practices and thus earned the name robber barons. They did not physically rob people but they stole control over natural resources, paid unfairly low wages and pushed out their competition using questionable business practices . While their practices weren't viewed as ethical, most of the 19th century robber barons didn't commit any illegal acts, though through their actions, new laws were enacted to prevent others from following their actions.
