Christophorus Columbus 1492 Pictura Poster

This is the Christopher Columbus 1492 Painting. Here is the complete 1492 poem: IN 1492 In fourteen hundred ninety-two Columbus sailed the ocean blue. He had three ships and left from Spain; He sailed through sunshine, wind and rain. He sailed by night; he sailed by day; He used the stars to find his way. A compass also helped him know How to find the way to go. Ninety sailors were on board; Some men worked while others snored. Then the workers went to sleep; And others watched the ocean deep. Day after day they looked for land; They dreamed of trees and rocks and sand. October 12 their dream came true, You never saw a happier crew! "Indians! Indians!" Columbus cried; His heart was filled with joyful pride. But "India" the land was not; It was the Bahamas, and it was hot. The Arakawa natives were very nice; They gave the sailors food and spice. Columbus sailed on to find some gold To bring back home, as he'd been told. He made the trip again and again, Trading gold to bring to Spain. The first American? No, not quite. But Columbus was brave, and he was bright. Columbus Day Song (sung to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell") In 1492, In 1492, Columbus sailed across the sea, In 1492. For 70 days he sailed, For 70 days he sailed, Columbus sailed across the sea, For 70 days he sailed. He came to a new land, He came to a new land, Columbus sailed across the sea, And came to a new land. Exploring he did go, Exploring he did go, Columbus sailed across the sea, Exploring he did go. He sailed back home to Spain, He sailed back home to Spain, Columbus sailed across the sea, Then sailed back home to Spain. Christopher Columbus In August 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue. October 12th they sighted land, And set their feet upon new sand.
