A fleet of over 200 ships navigated the blue seas, with almost 28,000 people on board, 1._ was a splendid scene. It would take 500 years before a larger fleet sailed the seas. According to some records, the largest ships were over 140 metres in 2. _(long), demonstrating the advanced technology and special skills used in constructing ships.Between 1405 and 1433, on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He made a total of seven voyages. His ships were loaded with china, silk, tea and other treasures as gifts for foreign rulers, and the fleet paid friendly visits 3. _ more than 30 countries and regions.

Later the detailed maps became Zheng He's Navigation Map.Zheng He's seven voyages had 4. _ far-reaching impact on China and its neighbours. In the countries and regions where Zheng He set foot, legends have been passed on about this great explorer. Zheng He's efforts helped develop and strengthen harmonious relations with these countries and regions, exposing foreign people to Chinese culture, and allowing the Chinese to better understand overseas lands.For many years, some historians dismissed the records of these voyages as legends.

The men on board were in panic. Regardless of all the challenges, Columbus managed to keep everyone out of danger with his knowledge and bravery across the ocean. Finally, on 12 October, the crew spotted land in the distance. Columbus called the natives living on the islands Indians because he was convinced that he was in the East Indies. 9._, the shores they had reached were of the Caribbean, not the East Indies.Between 1493 and 1504, Columbus found more land over the course of his three subsequent voyages. The major contribution of this great explorer is that he "discovered" the New World. His discovery inspired explorers such as Captain James Cook to explore and discover more vast areas of the world.
