Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa Italy in 1451, the son of a wool merchant and weaver.
At the age of 14 he went to sea for the first time ..... In 1484 he devised ‘The Enterprise of the Indies’ a plan to sail to India west rather than the traditional eastern route, all he needed to fulfil his dream was a patron.
