The Columbus Navigation Home Page

This page examines the history and navigation associated with the landfall of Columbus in the New World. Filled with interesting essays on the navigation skills of the time and more specifically Columbus's own navigation skills, the Web site fields several fascinating theories about where Columbus actually made landfall first and just how he found his way there. The site also details Columbus's crew, his ships, and the nature of his four voyages to the New World. Excellent graphics, an easy-to-use design, a timeline of his voyages, and an excellent set of links to other Columbus sites makes this a great Web site for researching not only Columbus but also the exploration of the early Americas.
