Columbus was an excellent sailor who had traveled in ships trading items
for gold, jewels, and spices. He believed that there was a shorter way
to reach Asia by sailing west. The Queen of Spain, Isabella, agreed to
give Columbus three ships and supplies to reach Asia.
Look at your explorers map to trace the route Columbus sailed and where
he landed on an island near the Bahamas called San Salvador. He had not
known that there was land between Europe and Asia and believed that he
had landed in Asia. He claimed this land for Spain.

NEWPORT,
CHRISTOPHER
Captain Christopher Newport (1560? -
1617) was an English privateer and navigator who transported colonists
to the first permanent English colony in America, Jamestown, and sailed
back and forth from England to the New World five times between 1606 and
1611, transporting both supplies and colonists. Captain Newport had been
hired by the Virginia Company to transport the colonists. On December
19, 1606, Captain Newport sailed from London, England, commanding three
small ships, the Susan Constant, Godspeed and Discovery,
carrying the Jamestown, Virginia
settlers, including Capt. John Smith. Jamestown was founded on May 14,
1607, by this small group of English settlers. Newport left the 104
settlers in June 22, 1607, sailing back to England for supplies. That
winter, most of the Jamestown settlers died from starvation, attacks,
and disease. In 1608, back in Virginia, Newport halted the execution of
Captain John Smith (the Jamestown leader who had been accused of causing
the deaths of the men on his expedition to obtain food from the
Indians); Smith's life had been previously saved by Pocahontas when he
was brought before the Indian Chief Powhatan. On his fourth trip to
America (in 1609), Newport was ship-wrecked in the Bermuda Islands and
did not reach Virginia until mid-1610. After his American adventures, he
sailed to Persia in 1613-1614 for the East India Company. Captain
Newport died in Bantam, Java in 1617 on a voyage to the East Indies.

CARTIER,
JACQUES
 Jacques
Cartier (1491-1557) was a French explorer who led three expeditions to
Canada, in 1534, 1535, and 1541. He was looking for a route to the
Pacific through North America (a Northwest Passage) but did not find
one. Cartier paved the way for French exploration of North America.
Cartier sailed inland, going 1,000
miles up the St. Lawrence River. He also tried to start a settlement in
Quebec (in 1541), but it was abandoned after a terribly cold winter.
Cartier named Canada;
"Kanata" means village or settlement in the Huron-Iroquois
language. Cartier was given directions by Huron-Iroquois Indians for the
route to "kanata," a village near what is now Quebec, but
Cartier later named the entire region Canada.

Juan Ponce de Leon
(1460?-1521) was a Spanish explorer and soldier who was the first

He also established the oldest European settlement in Puerto Rico and
discovered the Gulf Stream (a current in the Atlantic Ocean). Ponce de
Leon was searching for the legendary fountain of youth and other riches. |
