Christopher Columbus asked King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain for money to try out his idea of traveling west to reach the East. Queen Isabella refused Columbus at first. Later King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella gave Columbus three ships, a crew of about ninety men, and some money. The three ships were the Niña, Pinta, and Santa María. Christopher sailed on the Santa Maria.
So Christopher Columbus is talking to his brother wondering how they are going to get away to be able to go and travel to new places and claim them. He had hopes of finding a water route from Europe to the rich supply of spices and other commodities found in India and the rest of Asia. So they went to the king of Portugal and tried to get ship, money, and supplies from him so they could go and travel but he refused to give them so they didn’t know what to do. Then they went to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella and they agreed to fund his voyage. Then in August of 1492, he and his crew set sail on 3 ships which were the Niña, Pinta, and Santa María.
Then they got everyone on and ready and got everyone situated. They set sail then later that year On the 12th of October, one of Pinta’s crewmembers saw land and told the rest of the crew immediately. Then they landed on an island in the Caribbean and he thought that he was in India so he claimed the island and named it Spain and kept going on and exploring many other islands near that one. The captain of Pinta confirmed the discovery and told Columbus. Columbus named the island San Salvador while the natives called it Guanahani. As described by Columbus, the natives in San Salvador, were peaceful and friendly. Upon leaving this island, Columbus went on to explore the northeastern coast of Cuba and the northern coast of Hispaniola.
On Christmas morning 1492, the Santa Maria had to be abandoned as it got wrecked on the shores of the northern coast of Hispaniola. He had to leave behind 39 men at a fort called the Navidad due to no space in the other two ships.
His final stop before heading back home was Samaná Peninsula but his landing wasn’t as peaceful as expected. A violent resistance from a hostile named Ciguayos greeted him on his first voyage to the Americas. In the spring of 1493, he returned to Spain, bringing gold, animals, plants, and a number of Taino people who he had kidnapped through force. He stole about 10 to 25 natives before he left and brought them back to Spain but only about 7 or 8 of them actually survived the ride back. En route to Spain, Columbus faced another storm, which was considered one of the worst storms during that century, and was forced to set sail to Lisbon, Portugal where he anchored his ships on 4 March 1943. He stayed for more than one week then left for Spain where he reached on 15 March 1493. Then Christopher Columbus ended up doing 3 more voyages after that but then died on May 20, 1506.
