But for long the crews of the great Númenorean ships came unarmed among the men of Middle-earth; and though they had axes and bows aboard for the felling of timber and the hunting for food upon wild shores owned by no man, they did not bear these when they sought out the men of the lands.


Numerorean exploration and expansionism (colonialism?) seemed to start out as an idealized version of early European maritime expansionism ( similar except for the lack of active use of weaponry)
