Among those who followed in Bundle's footsteps – many of them on whaling and sealing expeditions – was Tom Chaseland, who married the sister of a Maori chief and became the most famous harpooner on New Zealand's South Island.

These 11 spots reveal a glimpse of the cultural and artistic splendor of the Middle Ages. View the slide show
