It was the year 1492, and a man named Columbus was out at sea, his desire to find a faster route to India for trade. Until this point in time, the only known ways were sailing around the continent of Africa or tranversing Europe and Asia, but Columbus had a new idea, sail across the Alantic Ocean, an idea many must have mocked him for. "There is no way you can make it!" some must have said "you will either meet your end while facing a sea monster or sailing off the edge of earth." Many held the belief at this time that the world was flat and could be sailed off of if one voyaged to far. Columbus was eager to show his criticizers wrong by making a successful voyage to and from India.
