What happens in the Caribbean Sea today that happened to the explorers of the 1500s?

Transportation of goods still happens in the Caribbean Sea today as it does in the 15th century.

Explanation:

The 1500s was named the Age of Exploration because there were extensive sea voyages accompanied by trading, transportation of goods between countries.  

The 15th century is shaped by the activities of the Europeans who at that time began to explore the world by sea, searching for new trading routes,  knowledge, wealth in form of gold, silver, agricultural produce and even slaves.

A lot of trading is still done along the Caribbean Sea today as it was in the 1500s.
