The instruments that Columbus used for his journey were a compass, used for finding the direction a ship is travelling; an astrolabe, used the North Star or Sun to calculate latitude, the distance north or south of the equator; a cross-staff, used to measure the altitude of the Pole star above the horizon to determine latitude; and the back-staff, used to measure the altitude of the Sun to determine latitude.
Christopher Columbus used the type of sailing vessel called a caravel. Caravels were a common sailing ship built in the 15th and 16th centuries. They were small ships with a broad bow, a high narrow poop deck, and usually had three masts.

Sailing ships must have rudders. Columbus's ships were no exception. There is a nice picture of a nao at the link. The Santa Maria, The flagship for his voyage when he discovered the new world, was this type ship. The Niña and Pinta were caravels. They also had rudders.

Just like you would any other proper noun. Since it's a name, why not use something like 'Christopher Columbus... (something he did)... (when he did it).'
