There were few ocean - going ships on the Disc . No captain liked to venture out of sight of a coastline . It was a sorry fact that ships which looked from a distance as though they were going over the edge of the world weren ’ t in fact disappearing over the horizon , they were in fact dropping over the edge of the world .
На Диске было мало океанских кораблей. Ни один капитан не любил рисковать скрываться за береговой линией. Прискорбно было то, что корабли, которые издалека выглядели так, будто они пересекали край света, на самом деле не исчезали за горизонтом, а падали за край света.
