Episode 6

S1 E6: Near completion of a year and a half, the Orient Expedition continues on its way to Asia to investigate seven great Chinese sea expeditions between 1405 and 1433. Sailing Yacht Kat arrives in Micronesia and ports in Guam, where Vilfredo and Heloísa will talk to a historian to see if the presence of the Chinese in the region is as old as one might think. Were they here nearly a century before the Europeans? The two take the opportunity to leave all the garbage they have collected on some islands in a recycling plant and know about the important work being done on the island. From Guam Sailing Yacht Kat moves on to Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands, where Wilhelm joins a windsurf competition and everyone takes an incredible dive in a cave. The next stop of the Expedition is in Okinawa, Japan, which was once an independent kingdom with a long history of trade and diplomatic relations with the Chinese Empire. Heloísa talks to a local historian to find out if there is a genetic link between the people of this island and the Chinese on the continent and ends up receiving important information. Finally, it is time to go to China, the most important country of this third sail around the world, and the Schurmann Family go to Shanghai for information that can elucidate the facts and dismantle the controversial theories that surround the history of the Fleet Of the Treasury.
