From Free Knowledge Base- The DUCK Project: information for everyone
Christopher Columbus was a master navigator and admiral that sailed to numerous places beginning his career as a merchant marine. Born in Genoa, Italy, Columbus was a deeply Catholic explorer. He believed he could reach the shores of Asia by sailing a mere 3,000 miles west across the Atlantic. Despite his miscalculation, after 10 weeks Columbus did find an entirely new continent without realizing it.
