Sea fortune has always been an issue of good faith and good
navigation. While in antiquity, fortuna gubernatrix was praised for
shielding the seaborne trade, in the Renaissance fortuna symbolized
the conquest of chance and danger. Under such auspices, while relying
on risk technologies modern seafaring has never lost its adventurous
dimension. Understanding their origin remains a challenge for the
history of science and the history of literature.
