THE EXPLORATIONS OF CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS Perhaps the most famous explorer was Christopher Columbus. Born in Genoa, Italy, in 1451 to a weaver, young Columbus first went to sea at the age of fourteen. As a young man, he settled in Portugal and married a woman of noble background. After his wife's death in 1485, Columbus and his young son, Diego moved to Spain. Like all learned men of his time, Columbus knew the world was round. He theorized that since the earth was a sphere, a ship could eventually reach the Far East from the opposite direction. He thought to establish trade routes to Asia in this manner. The fifteenth-century Europeans were not aware of the South and North American continents during this timeframe. Mapmakers did not show an accurate picture and no one knew there was a Pacific Ocean. For a decade, Columbus approached the Portuguese king and the Spanish monarchs to obtain a grant to explore possible trade routes to the west. After initially turning him down, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella reconsidered once the Moors had been successfully expelled from Spain in 1492. Columbus promised to bring back gold, spices, and silks from the Far East, to spread Christianity, and to lead an expedition to China. In return, Columbus asked for and got the hereditary title "admiral of the ocean seas" and became governor of all discovered lands.

The Columbus Landfall Homepage Just where did Columbus first see the New World? Site Map It's hard to believe, but after five hundred years there's still disagreement about just where Columbus first saw the new world and set foot upon its shores. It's a real-life mystery, and you are the detective. No theory is perfect, but we'll review some of the best known theories, and suggest the most likely answer. (You may be surprised.) Map of the Bahamas, showing the suggested landfalls of Columbus. Columbus visited five islands in the Bahamas before reaching Cuba. He named these (in order) San Salvador, Santa Maria de la Concepcion, Fernandina, Isabela, and Las Islas de Arena . The last of these has been identified (almost universally) with the modern Ragged Islands in the Bahamas. The first four are in dispute. To avoid confusion with modern placenames, the first four are referred to in Roman numerals as Island I through Island IV. The native names for these islands were Guanahani for Island I and Samoete (or Saomete or Samoet) for Island IV. The native names for Island II and Island III were not recorded.

On the second, in 1456, Cadamosto sailed up the Gambia river to the Geba River. He tried trading with the Africans but was unsuccessful. Cadamosto claimed to have discovered the Cape Verde Islands, but this is uncertain. Cadamosto published a detailed account of his explorations in 1507.

Christopher Columbus Mark D., Matt C., Andrew G., Jeff S., Patrick G. Ship by Meghan G., Portrait by Elyas B., Map by Jennifer H. Christopher Columbus was born in 1451 and died in 1506. Columbus was a tall and strong boy with reddish blonde hair and blue eyes. He was the oldest of five brothers. He was born in Genoa, Italy. Columbus had little schooling, but taught himself Latin. When he was a little kid, he heard stories about storms and sea monsters. When he became a sailor, people told him the world was flat. Columbus went on his first voyage when he was 19. On August 3rd in 1476, his ship was attacked by pirates. He was wounded and his ship sank. He used an oar to float back to land. Christopher Columbus had an idea to find a sea route to the Indies going west instead of east because he thought the world was round. He estimated that the world was about 11,000 miles around. Columbus first tried to convince the king and queen of Portugal to give him funding, but they said no. In In 1485, he asked King Fernando and Queen Isabella of Spain for funding and after six years, they said yes. Columbus got three ships on his first voyage. Their names were the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. He was given 90 men. Columbus kept two diaries. One real, one fake. The fake one told the crew that they were close to their homeland. He navigated by using the stars and compasses. He would drop a log into the water to measure the speed of the ship. He also used dead reckoning to navigate. Dead reckoning is a type of navigation that uses a vehicle's location and how far it has traveled to see if it is on course. It is not accurate at all.

Welcome to 1492: AN ONGOING VOYAGE an Exhibit of the Library of Congress, Washington, DC 1492. Columbus. The date and the name provoke many questions related to the linking of very different parts of the world, the Western Hemisphere and the Mediterranean. What was life like in those areas before 1492? What spurred European expansion? How did European, African and American peoples react to each other? What were some of the immediate results of these contacts? 1492: AN ONGOING VOYAGE addresses such questions by examining the rich mixture of societies coexisting in five areas of this hemisphere before European arrival. It then surveys the polyglot Mediterranean world at a dynamic turning point in its development. The exhibition examines the first sustained contacts between American people and European explorers, conquerors and settlers from 1492 to 1600. During this period, in the wake of Columbus's voyages, Africans also arrived in the hemisphere, usually as slaves. All of these encounters, some brutal and traumatic, others more gradual, irreversibly changed the way in which peoples in the Americas led their lives. The dramatic events following 1492 set the stage for numerous cultural interactions in the Americas which are still in progress - a complex and ongoing voyage.

And his arrival in the West Indies led to enduring links between Europe and the Americas. In the early years of our nation's history, Christopher Columbus was raised to hero status by writers and historians wishing to create a common memory for our new nation. Five hundred years later, by the quincentennial of 1992, Columbus' name had become somewhat tarnished. Is Columbus a hero worth celebrating, or was he a cruel imperialist?

New World Foods by Bethany Remy A lot of the foods that we enjoy today have not been around forever. When Christopher Columbus sailed west in 1492, he discovered a lot more than just new people and new land. On this new land that he discovered there were new kinds of food that Europeans had never heard of or seen. Columbus ate food that he had never tasted before, and he brought these foods back to Europe and Africa, ....and they spread like fire! New World Foods: corn, potato, tomato, bell pepper, chili pepper, vanilla, tobacco, beans, pumpkin, cassava root, avocado, peanut, pecan , cashew, pineapple, blueberry, sunflower, petunia, black-eyed susan, dahlia, marigold, quinine, wild rice, cacao (chocolate), gourds, and squash. Corn: Corn was grown by the North American, Central American, and South American Indians. They grew corn for thousands and thousands of years, even before Christopher Columbus arrived. These Indians helped starving early settlers by introducing corn to them and showing them how to cook it and also how to grow it. However, when Christopher Columbus did arrive in the West Indies, he traded with the Indians that were there for corn and brought it back to Spain. Corn was later shown to other countries and before you know it, corn was all over the world. Potato: The potato originated in South America and the Inca Indians of Bolivia Chile , and Peru grew potatoes beginning hundreds of years ago. The Incas used the potatoes to make chuno, which is a floury substance. The chuno was used as a substition for wheat in bread. The potato first arrived in Europe in the the mid 1500's. The English explorers were the ones to introduce potatoes to England and this popular food soon spread to Ireland and Scotland. In fact, the potato became so widespread and popular that in many countries it became the staple crop. The potato grew very well in

These words signify a turning point in human history, when the world was enlarged beyond all imagining, and knowledge of the New World was born. Using archival documents, paintings and maps, along with modern views of historical settings, this exhibit recreates the world and life of Christopher Columbus, the Genoese. New Spain: The Frontiers of Faith More than one hundred years before the first English colony was founded at Jamestown in 1607, Spanish explorers and settlers had established a network of thriving communities in the Caribbean and were preparing to embark on a spectacular enterprise to conquer and colonize much of the Western Hemisphere. Sustained by their profound faith in their goals, they created - and recorded in countless documents - a complex texture of social, economic, and cultural systems. Peru Mestizo: Life and Art in a Colonial Kingdom The encounter of Francisco Pizarro and the Inca in the Andean highlands of Peru changed everything-forever. It led to a new people, a new culture, a new Christianity, an American synthesis of vision and values, and a unique school of art that flourished for three centuries. You are now invited to a very special encounter of your own with Peru Mestizo: Life and Art in a Colonial Kingdom.
