This was recommended to me just now, and I was thinking "Is this because of Michael Mosley's recent death? Isn't this a little in bad taste?" But nope, he wasn't in the quiz.

Nice quiz. They just found Shackleton’s last ship off the coast of Newfoundland, interestingly (it only sank in 1961, though, long after he died).

nice quiz, but Capodistria is not an island, but a city on Istria peninsula (now Koper, Slovenia)

In 1525 it was still an island, like several other towns in Istria.
