Christopher Columbus and his Voyages
Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy, in 1451. His father was a wool weaver who had 5 children. Christopher, the eldest child, was a red-haired, tanned boy with bright blue eyes. He dreamed about voyages and became a sailor at the age of 14.
He saw foreign countries and traveled to Africa, England and many other countries. Christopher studied Spanish, Portuguese and Latin himself and learnt navigation and drawing maps.
On august 3, 1492, three ships with 88 men sailed north from Spain. His wooden ships the Santa Maria, the Pinta and the Nina had no engines. None of sailors had ever sailed for such a long time. After three weeks the sailors were afraid, they had little food and water.
Day after day they sailed to an unknown land. At last they saw a light at the distance. When the sun rose they saw the land. Columbus thought he had discovered a new way to India. He never knew that he had discovered a new continent.
