 In the Time of Columbus
Christopher Columbus lived in an exciting time. People were
trying new things all over the world. There were great artists
in Italy. Books were being printed for the first time. Learning
about the world was important.
New, fast boats with large sails and big
cargo
areas were
being built. Prince Henry the
Navigator
of Portugal started a
school for sailors. There was no better time for an explorer.
Ships used for exploration
Prince Henry’s School
Students in Prince Henry’s school learned
to use
astrolabes
(AS-truh-labes). An
astrolabe used the stars and sun to help
explorers find out where they were going.
