  • Zhu Yu, a Chinese historian, writes his book Pingzhou Table Talks (published this year), the earliest known use of separate hull compartments in ships. Zhu Yu's book is the first to report the use of a magnetic compass for navigation at sea. The first actual description, however, of the magnetic compass is by another Chinese writer Shen Kuo in his Dream Pool Essays (published in 1088).
