The most famous of all voyages began on September 6, 1492, when three small caravels left the safe waters of the Canary Islands and headed west across the Atlantic to shores unknown. The ships were commanded by Christopher Columbus, and his expedition became one of the fateful events in world history.

By that time people already knew that the Earth was a ball. But if the Earth is a ball, then you can reach the shores of the Indies, sailing all the time west through the Sea-Ocean! The idea of ​​such a voyage was born to a man named Christopher Columbus.

It took Columbus six years to find people who would give money for the expedition. Finally, in 1492, the King and Queen of Spain agreed to help him.

This map shows the world as it was imagined 500 years ago. If mapmakers didn't know exactly what a place looked like, they drew it at random! Cartographers depicted not only seas and continents, but also sea monsters, which were often considered the cause of shipwrecks and the death of sailors. Nautical charts

The captain used some instruments to determine the ship's course. The compass indicated the direction of the ship's movement. Using a compass (if there was one), the captain marked on the map the distance that the ship had covered during the day. Often he had to rely only on intuition and... pretend that he knew exactly where to swim!

Slide 7

The manatee, or sea cow, is one of the most unusual sea creatures. A female manatee holds her baby in her “arms” just like a woman! It is quite possible that the mermaids that experienced sailors spoke about are ordinary manatees.

The ships of Christopher Columbus Columbus set out on his first expedition on the sailing ship Santa Maria and the caravels Pinta and Niña. There were 39 people on the Santa Maria, 26 on the Pinta, and 21 on the Niña.

The sailors were never left without work: they scrubbed the deck until it shined and darned the sails. The sailors did not have soft beds. They slept on the bare deck, wrapped in a dirty blanket or an old sail. Often the only food the sailors had was crackers with worms. When this provision ran out, the sailors ate rats or pieces of leather soaked in water. Life on a boat

The ships had lookouts. They climbed onto the platform at the top of the mast, which was called the mars or “crow’s nest,” and carefully peered into the distance, trying to notice in time the ground or the danger threatening the ship. At two o’clock in the morning on October 12, 1492, the sailor from the Pinta, Rodrigo de Triana, shouted “Earth! I see land!

Columbus called the local residents “Indians”; he was sure that he had sailed to the shores of the distant Indies. The Indians willingly exchanged gold jewelry and masks for glass and bells.

Slide 13

At that time, ships often leaked. The sailors sealed the gaps between the boards with rope and filled them with hot resin. Even today, sailors often have to pump seawater out of the hold to prevent the ship from sinking!

The great explorer Christopher Columbus Christopher Columbus was born in 1451 in Genoa, the oldest shipbuilding center, where galleys, carracks and other types of ships were built in numerous shipyards. From his youth, Columbus sailed on merchant ships.

Slide 3

Discovery of America An event as a result of which a new part of the world became known to the inhabitants of the Old World - America, consisting of two continents. In 1492 - Christopher Columbus (Genoese in the service of Spain); Columbus himself believed that he had discovered the route to Asia (hence the names West Indies, Indians)

Slide 4

Christopher Columbus Expeditions Between 1492 and 1504, Christopher Columbus undertook four exploration expeditions at the behest of the Spanish king. He described the events of these expeditions in his logbook. Unfortunately, the original journal has not survived, but Bartolome de Las Casas made a partial copy of this journal, which has survived to this day, thanks to which many details of the described expeditions have become known.

Slide 5

On his first expedition, Columbus equipped three ships - the Santa Maria (flagship), the Pinta and the Niña. The flotilla team included only 90 people. During the expedition, America was “discovered”. A European set foot for the first time on the Caribbean islands - Guanahani (Bahamas), Hispaniola (Haiti), Juana (Cuba). This voyage began the expansion of Spain into the New World.

Second Expedition Columbus's second flotilla already consisted of 17 ships. Flagship - "Maria Galante"

Slide 8

The Third Expedition Few funds were found for the third expedition, and only six small ships and about 300 crew members went with Columbus, and the crew included criminals from Spanish prisons. On May 30, 1498, the flotilla left the mouth of the Guadalquivir River.

Slide 9

On the fourth expedition, Columbus took with him his brother Bartolome and his 13-year-old son Hernando. During his fourth voyage, Columbus “discovered” the continent south of Cuba - the coast of Central America - and proved that the Atlantic Ocean was separated from the South Sea, which he had heard about from the Indians, by an insurmountable barrier. He was also the first to report on Indian peoples living near the South Sea.
