Columbus sailed with 90 men on his first voyage. 26 on the Pinta 24 on the Nina and 40 on the Santa Maria Santa Maria ran aground and sank and Columbus had to leave 39 men behind in the Caribean for his return journey. These men were all killed by the natives before Columbus returned on his second voyage. Columbus took about 20 natives as slaves, only 7 of which survived the crossing to spain.
Columbus sailed using three boats: the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria and his crew consisted of 87 men. So do 87/3=29.
He had a crew of 35 men.
Well, Columbus had three ships with a crew of a couple of hundred men; does that count? After him, other explorers like Henry Hudson and a host of Spanish explorers. Even before Columbus, there was Leif Erickson and his Vikings, and the Vikings who sailed to Vinland in Labrador, or the Irish monks who were rumored to have sailed from Ireland to North America.
The names of the three ships of Columbus were Nina, Pinta, Santa Maria. Christopher Columbus was an Italian who sailed under the Spanish flag. The ships carried about 120 men in total.
He took dried beef, hard tack, and dried peas for the men to eat, 25 cats for the rats, a priest and the men who sailed the ship.
sailor .........WAS THIS ON A WORKSHEET? BECAUSE I DID ONE ON A WORKSHEET MY TEACHER MRS.AXTELL GAVE ME
IN 1492 In fourteen hundred ninety-two Columbus sailed the ocean blue. He had three ships and left from Spain; He sailed through sunshine, wind and rain. He sailed by night; he sailed by day; He used the stars to find his way. A compass also helped him know How to find the way to go. Ninety sailors were on board; Some men worked while others snored. Then the workers went to sleep; And others watched the ocean deep. Day after day they looked for land; They dreamed of trees and rocks and sand. October 12 their dream came true, You never saw a happier crew! "Indians! Indians!" Columbus cried; His heart was filled with joyful pride. But "India" the land was not; It was the Bahamas, and it was hot. The Arakawa natives were very nice; They gave the sailors food and spice. Columbus sailed on to find some gold To bring back home, as he'd been told. He made the trip again and again, Trading gold to bring to Spain. The first American? No, not quite. But Columbus was brave, and he was bright. Columbus Day Song (sung to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell") In 1492, In 1492, Columbus sailed across the sea, In 1492. For 70 days he sailed, For 70 days he sailed, Columbus sailed across the sea, For 70 days he sailed. He came to a new land, He came to a new land, Columbus sailed across the sea, And came to a new land. Exploring he did go, Exploring he did go, Columbus sailed across the sea, Exploring he did go. He sailed back home to Spain, He sailed back home to Spain, Columbus sailed across the sea, Then sailed back home to Spain. Christopher Columbus In August 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
