Facts about the discovery of America and sailing ships

In the late 15th century, explorers set off in large sailing ships to unknown continents. The typical caravels had slender hulls, tall masts, and multiple sails to capture wind from different directions. Sailors navigated using stars and simple instruments like the cross compass. Children often gathered at the harbor to watch the ships coming in and out, as journeys on the open sea were rare spectacles.

The discovery of America by Christopher Columbus in 1492 changed world history: new trade routes, plants, and cultures met. Sailing ships were the backbone of these grand endeavors. Today, history books mention caravels like the Santa Maria, the Pinta, or the Niña. When coloring the sailing ship, you can paint the sails in bright white or beige and the long hull in darker tones.

For the background, blue and gray tones are suitable to represent the sea and sky, while the children can be brought to life in colorful everyday clothing.
