Christopher Columbus

Christopher Columbus

I found in my research that Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa. He is the son of a prosperous wool merchant and weaver. By the early age of 14 , takes to the sea. Columbus swim ashore after his ship is sunk in a battle with pirates off Portugal. He joins his brother Bartholomew, a cartographer, in Lisbon. As a master mariner, Christopher makes merchant voyages as far as Iceland and Guinea.

In my opinion, Christopher Columbus is a very smart, brave man that all the people should know about him and his voyages. It was very interesting doing this work because he is a very important person in our history.
