The Animated Story of Christopher Columbus Video on Interactive DVD with Resource Book Description
Christopher Columbus (1451-May 20, 1506) was an Italian navigator and explorer credited with the discovery of the Americas. A man of great leadership and courage, he often used “converting non-believers” as a reason for his explorations.
Christopher Columbus believed that instead of sailing east on the path to find India that land could be reached in just weeks by sailing west! His voyages across the Atlantic Ocean began an effort at exploration and colonization of the Western Hemisphere. After securing the support of Queen Isabella of Spain, he finally set sail for the new world. After three weeks of sailing and no sight of land, his crew threatened mutiny. But at the moment when all seemed lost, land was discovered!
The three ships used by Columbus in his 1492 voyage across the Atlantic Ocean were named the Pinta, Niña, and Santa Maria.
