Christopher Columbus, the son of a wool merchant and weaver,
was born in Genoa, Italy. At the young age of 14, he set sail for the
first time. On one of his voyages in 1470, there was a shipwreck off
of the coast of Portugal. He was able to swim to the shore, and he
made that country his home.
King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain became interested in
his very adventuresome voyage ideas. On August 2, 1492, Colum
bus set sail in search of the East Indies. The voyage was financed
by the King and Queen. Columbus and a 90-man crew traveled
aboard three ships on the trip to the New World. The ships were
named The Nina, The Pinta, and the largest ship which Columbus
commanded, The Santa Maria. Columbus never actually arrived on
the mainland of the Americas, which he believed to be the Indies,
until his third voyage to the new world. On Christmas Day of 1492,
the Santa Maria sank off of the coast of Hispaniola. On January 16,
1493, Columbus set sail back for Spain aboard the Nina, arriving
there on March 4 of the same year. His second voyage departed
for the New World in September of 1493 with 17 ships. The ships
carried people and supplies to begin colonization. Columbus would
sail back and forth between the New and Old Worlds two more
times before his death in Valladolid, Spain, on May 20, 1506. He
I was 55 years old.
Columbus Day is celebrated in honor of the voyages that Columbus made. Although he was not the first person to
discover the Americas, he is recognized as one of the most important contributors to colonization. He was the first
European successful in efforts to colonize the New World. He explored parts of the Caribbean and discovered the
mainland of South America on his third voyage. He never actually found North America, or a passage to China, which
he hoped to find. This was because what he believed to be the Indies was actually the Continent of South America.
