No, Columbus sailed for Spain
The Atlantic Ocean.
Figure it Out!!
Yes Christopher Columbus did use a sextant along with a compass, ampoletta, and a cross staff.
Christopher Columbus used three ships to cross the Atlantic and discover America. They were the Nina, Santa Maria, and La Pinta. La Pinta was the fastest of the three ships, and was the one which carried Rodrigo de Triana, who first sighted America.
Portugal did not support Christopher Columbus' plan to reach Asia by sailing westward, as they believed his calculations were incorrect and that he would not be able to cross the Atlantic Ocean successfully.
His flags name was Columbus Flag!!:) It has an F, a cross and a Y on it.!:)
I'm not quite sure what you mean by nonstop but he was the first to cross the Atlantic
you would cross mexico to get to south america.
The Atlantic ocean.
Boston is in North America, and Amsterdam is in Europe. To get from North America to Europe, you must cross the Atlantic Ocean.
When Christopher Columbus said, "You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore," he was emphasizing the importance of taking risks and stepping out of one's comfort zone in order to achieve great things.
