1 Non-fiction: Sailing the Seas Sailing the Seas Geoff McCormack In 1492, Christopher Columbus set sail to find a shorter way between Europe and Asia. That would make it easier for people to trade. He sailed on the Santa Maria. Columbus's Ship The Santa Maria was small and easy to sail. Look at Columbus's ship, inside and out. 1. Sails are large sheets of strong cloth that catch the wind as it blows and help a ship move. 2. A cabin is a small room on a ship. The cabin had a bed called a bunk. Columbus was the only person with a bunk. 3. A tiller is a long handle that turns a ship. The crew steered the ship from the tiller room. 4. A hold is an area below deck. Animals and supplies, such as food and water, were kept in the hold. 5. A mast is a pole that holds up a ship's sails. The Santa Maria's main mast was 65 feet tall about the height of two telephone poles! Article: Copyright 2005 Weekly Reader Corporation. All rights reserved.

Columbus's crew worked and slept there. 8. A firebox is a kind of stove that the crew used for cooking. Steering on the Sea Columbus and his crew traveled to many new places. Look at some of the different tools they used to find their way. A map is a drawing of Earth's water and land. A compass has a needle that points north. This tool showed the crew the direction in which they were sailing. An astrolabe is a tool sailors used to tell how far north or south a ship was by looking at the stars.
