I'm looking for books or journal articles or any good verifiable information about real ancient seafarers, however I'm afraid of getting some kind of historical-conspiracy-theory-Atlantis-proving-garbage (which is the only stuff I've been able to find). I remember reading on here a post on this sub that referred to a specific book, but I've since forgotten both the book and the post in which it was mentioned. Any help would be greatly appreciated! (Even good terms to put into the Google and my university library website.)
Check out Lionel Casson's Ships and Seamanship in the Ancient World. Be sure it is the second edition because the first edition was written in the fifties without any real archaeology.
