__The great explorer__
===Christopher Columbus was a famous historical adventurer for discovering the Americas and to be the first to cross from the east all the way to the west through the open Atlantic. The Italian explorer was born 1451, somewhere between August and October, and died 1506, May 20. The man spent most of his life in Genoa Italy, but also in Savona. At the age of 14, he left home and traveled out to sea to work for a Portuguese merchant fleet to support the attempt of conquering the Kingdom of Naples. Columbus took five voyages to the Americas where he discovered Hispaniola, the Bahamas, South and Central America, and Cuba. After each voyage, Columbus brought back new and healthy foods to the people of Europe. Christopher truly was a great adventurer of his time and still holds the title of being the most famous explorer around the world.===
