Christopher’s Voyage to North America Christopher Columbus sailed through the big sea because he wanted to find a water route to India. When Christopher sailed, he used small ships called the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. He used small ships because he didn’t know what he would find. Many of the people on the ship had fears of sea monsters. Columbus tried to make them confident like he was by telling everybody they would hit Japan, China and India soon. Many people died on the way to the new land. Finally, they saw land and then landed on it. Christopher Columbus named the new land The Indies He also named the people there the Indians. Christopher Columbus explored the new land and recruited six Indian passengers for the ride back to Europe.
