Admiral Zhou Man

Zhou Man was also a part of the crew of the four famous Admirals that were on a mission to explore the world.  Zhou man went along with Hong Bao until they reached the Straight of Magellan almost a century before Ferdinand Magellan.  They than split up and Zhou Man went up the coast of the Pacific South America stopping at Peru.  Once he reached there, he sailed across the ocean blue and landed in what is now Newcastle Australia.  He then again sailed south to New Zealand just to turn back around and head towards Australia because he had lost a few ships on the way.  After that, he cast-off to the northern region of Australia.  He embarked on a journey back home, but after a mere 100 days at sea, he turned east and followed the current to eventually land on the North American Pacific coast.  He explored the coast and eventually ventured back to his mainland of China.
