Castello Banfi Home Page Recipe Archive Seasonal Menus ... Site Index HIS VOYAGES AND DISCOVERY OF THE NEW WORLD THE FIRST VOYAGE Columbus sailed from Palos de la Frontera on 3 August, 1492. His flagship, the Santa Maria had 52 men aboard while his other two ships, the Nina and Pinta each held 18 men. The expedition made a stop at the Canary Islands and on 6 September 1492 sailed westward. Let us look at the first voyage and the victuals embarked on the three vessels, the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria. The first problem was to obtain supplies of food, wine and water. At the Canary islands they picked up fresh water, wood and the famous Gomera goat cheese. Columbus' first voyage had the best victuals (and enough to last a year), not the case in his other voyages. The menu for Spanish seamen consisted of water, vinegar, wine, olive oil, molasses, cheese, honey, raisins, rice, garlic, almonds, sea biscuits (hardtack), dry legumes such as chickpeas, lentils, beans, salted and barreled sardines, anchovies, dry salt cod and pickled or salted meats (beef and pork), salted flour. The olive oil and perhaps olives were stored in earthenware jugs. All other provisions were stored in wooden casks which, according to some reports, were of cheap and faulty construction permitting the preserving brine to leak out of the meat casks and moisture to invade the casks of dry provisions. All were stored in the hold, the driest section of which was normally reserved for those casks carrying dry provisions. A cooper (barrel maker) was responsible for keeping the casks tight, an almost impossible challenge.

Exploration is one of the oldest and most widespread of human activities. People have engaged in exploration since prehistoric times. Prehistoric human beings crossed vast areas of land and water and eventually populated all the continents except Antarctica. Later navigators started out from the islands of Southeast Asia and settled Hawaii, New Zealand, and other Pacific Islands. In ancient and medieval times, people from Europe, the Middle East, and Asia ranged far beyond their homelands to chart many areas new to them. Even so, as late as 1450, large parts of the world remained isolated from one another. The Great Age of European Exploration starting about that time. The Italian navigator Christopher Columbus made his first voyage to the American "New World" in 1492. Throughout the 1500's and 1600's, Europeans were the most active explorers in the world. They eventually explored the Americas, Siberia, the Pacific Islands, Australia, Africa, the Arctic, and Antarctica. By the early 1900's, most parts of the world had been explored and mapped.

The Human Body The New World Since the earliest times, people have speculated about the world in which they live. Inspired by curiosity, wealth, the quest for scientific knowledge, or the desire to find a better place to live, explorers have charted the Earth's surface by both land and sea. Beginning with the epic voyage of Columbus in 1492, Europeans, in an attempt to find a western route to India, stumbled onto a continent which they hailed as a "new world." Although these explorations opened up the Western Hemisphere to European settlement, they spelled disaster for the native inhabitants of the American continent.

Christopher Columbus Mark D., Matt C., Andrew G., Jeff S., Patrick G. Ship by Meghan G., Portrait by Elyas B., Map by Jennifer H. Christopher Columbus was born in 1451 and died in 1506. Columbus was a tall and strong boy with reddish blonde hair and blue eyes. He was the oldest of five brothers. He was born in Genoa, Italy. Columbus had little schooling, but taught himself Latin. When he was a little kid, he heard stories about storms and sea monsters. When he became a sailor, people told him the world was flat. Columbus went on his first voyage when he was 19. On August 3rd in 1476, his ship was attacked by pirates. He was wounded and his ship sank. He used an oar to float back to land. Christopher Columbus had an idea to find a sea route to the Indies going west instead of east because he thought the world was round. He estimated that the world was about 11,000 miles around. Columbus first tried to convince the king and queen of Portugal to give him funding, but they said no. In In 1485, he asked King Fernando and Queen Isabella of Spain for funding and after six years, they said yes. Columbus got three ships on his first voyage. Their names were the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. He was given 90 men. Columbus kept two diaries. One real, one fake. The fake one told the crew that they were close to their homeland. He navigated by using the stars and compasses. He would drop a log into the water to measure the speed of the ship. He also used dead reckoning to navigate. Dead reckoning is a type of navigation that uses a vehicle's location and how far it has traveled to see if it is on course. It is not accurate at all.

EARLY EXPLORATION Vikings Marco Polo Crusaders WORLD EXPLORATION Magellan Dias Balboa AMERICAN EXPLORATION Columbus Cortes Pizarro MISCELLANEOUS EXPLORATION Vespucci Hudson DeSoto Cabot VIKINGS (By David Lara) The Vikings were bold seafaring people from Scandanavia. Between 700 and 1000, their population grew steadily and food was scarce. This caused the Vikings to turn their long boats west in search of new lands. In the mid-800s, they settled in Iceland. From there, the Vikings pushed even farther west. In 982, a red-haired, great bearded explorer named Eric the Red sailed to an island he called Greenland. Actually Greenland had more ice and harsher climate than Iceland, but Eric hoped the pleasant-sounding name of Greenland would attract farmers. In 1001, Eric's son, Lief Ericsson set sail to investigate reports of yet another new land. Lief's crew sailed west and south. In time, they came to a place where wheat and grapes grew wild. Lief named it Vinland or Wineland. Viking sagas, or stories of brave deeds, described Vinland as a mild plentiful land. According to sagas, Lief returned to Greenland, but one of his friends, Thorfinn Karlsefni (KAHRL sehf ne), decided to build a settlement in Vinland. He took a group of about 150 settlers with him.
