The article explains how difficult it was for the mediterranean sailors to solve the problem of the tides when they reached the Athlantic coasts in the last years of the XIIIth century and during the XIVth century. They were not used to this natural phenomenon because it is scarcely noticed in the Meditertanean Sea. So, they had to learn how to calculate the time by means of the traverse board. The article explains the management of this method and demonstrates that it was discovered by the Venetians between 1317 and 1337, when they began to navigate to Flanders.
