Christopher Columbus Journal Entries

xDear,Mother August 3 1942
Today I depart on my voyage to Asia . The great Highness Ferdinand the second has rented and provided Christopher Columbus and the crew with the great Santa Maria,My job is to work as a Helmsman steering the ship to land.About a week ago I had received a letter from the king, about going to explore, at first at didn't care about it but after I saw the offers and jump at the chance. The crew and our captain said our goodbyes and set sail to Asia.Caption Christopher is using all water route He hopes this route will get us there faster and for less gold. I am feeling lonely even though there is people among me.The ship was humongous the port and starboard had huge ropes. I could also see the Nina and Pinta sailing with us on our starboard and on our port.We were looking for spices it was like gold if we could bring it back to Spain. It is amazing on this ship. It going to be a long voyage. Thank you for your support Mother.

Dear, Mother
A crew had left the food open and now it’s gone bad. We are going to run out of fresh food soon. The crew has already gone hungry the crew is dying from scurvy and many other more dieses. I think we are close to land. As soon as we saw an albatross the crew was boarded on the Pinta by Martín Alonso Pinzón because the Pinta was a Caravel and was not that big thus carrying trades and people, we set off to land. We prepared everything for landing on the Pinta and ready to land.Then I saw land, i saw people indigenous holding spears ready to throw at us we pulled down our flag ready to land. I was so scared of thee spears. Our ship landed on the coast of somewhere unknown, it's not Asia the people were holding spears at us.We were looking for spices it was like gold if we could bring it back to Spain. The kings is depending on us to find a new route for
