The Columbus Navigation Homepage is an invidually owned and operated website from Keith Pickering, an computer systems consultant and historian. Read his bio for more information.
The site itself provides an in-depth look at Columbus and his voyages. This is a great site for teachers looking for further information or students writing a paper but not quite appropriate for younger students as it is mostly textual in format with high level language.
Topics explored on the Columbus Navigation Homepage include dead reckoning and celestial navigation, the four voyages, and general historical information such as Columbus' death, the ships, the crew, and a look at who really discovered America.
