Christopher Columbus

     

Christopher Columbus (October 31, 1451 - May 20, 1506) was born in Genoa, Italy. His parents were Domenico Colombo and Susanna Fontanarossa, and his father worked in textiles. Columbus was drawn to the sea at a very young age, and he claimed to have sailed as early as age 10. This photo shows Columbus tring to pursuade Ferdinand and Isabella to fund his voyage - can you find the three differences in this photo hunt puzzle?

A land route to the Far East had enabled Europeans to trade with China and India and get silk and spices, but the journey was long, difficult, and dangerous.
