Christopher Columbus Traveled to England When He Was 25
Christopher Columbus sailed on many voyages from the time he was 20 years old until his fateful voyage in 1492 when he crossed the Atlantic. Columbus started his career as a business agent, traveling and trading goods on behalf of the wealthy families in Italy at the time.
When Columbus was 25 he traveled to England and Ireland from Italy. One of the important facts to remember is that voyages by sea were very different 500 years ago. What we might consider a small journey now was quite an undertaking in those days.
