A lesson in the value of determination. When King John offers a reward for the captain who can find the fastest route to the treasures of India, Christopher Columbus realizes he has found his calling. Columbus is convinced the most direct route to the Far East is by sailing west. The King laughs and says it cannot be done. But determination keeps Columbus’ dream alive. Christopher Columbus tells Queen Isabella that he has met many who say it is impossible to sail west, but none of them has even tried. The Queen is intrigued by Columbus’ determination. She gives Christopher Columbus ships, a crew and money to make his journey. The trip begins well, but as the days stretch into weeks, rations run short. The crew is convinced they will perish and will agree to only three more days; then they will turn back. Suddenly, someone shouts, “Land ho!” Christopher Columbus has discovered a new world. Back in Spain, the Queen honors Christopher Columbus. “I name you Admiral of the Ocean Seas. Your name will live forever. Because of you the world will never be the same." Includes 48-page activity book.
