As more explorers took to the sea, improvements in sailing vessels, navigation, cartography, and geography rapidly followed. Permanent settlements in the New World revolutionized trade-and the European economy. The quest for gold gave way to agriculture and the cultivation of luxury goods such as cocoa, coffee, corn, cotton, tobacco, and sugar."
