Days at the sea

Start of the voyage

Sep 21, 1500

Most people going on voyages didn't know where they were going. Most people were told to go to one place, but made it somewhere completely different. Most of them don't know whats ahead of them. Most of them don't know that they will die.

The First Day

Dec 25, 1501

It's Christmas day and we get to make our first voyage, We left when the sun rose in the East. We set off for our Voyage. I can't wait to see what we explore, We didn't rest until the sun set in the West. How beautiful the view was out here.

We haven't been in many storms, but a lot of people are getting smallpox. We have had to isolate the boat so everyone doesn't get it. It has killed many people. No one on the boat has it as of now.

Storms at sea

We have been at sea for 9 years and haven't seen any land. We have been through many storms and can't find our way home. We don't know what to do. We are all dying and we need some help. the storms have ruined parts of the boat. We had to fix many parts of the boat. I don't know how much longer it will hold off.

Christmas Miracle

It has been 14 years since we have left. It is Christmas Day and we have just seen our first sight of land. We have set out for a voyage to China. I wonder where exactly we are.

Where?

Dec 25, 1516

The Trade

Dec 25, 1517

We have a little left over gold so that is what we traded for the silk. The silk is more then gold in our eyes. I wish we could have gotten more gold then we did. We are lucky we got some at all. The port of china was a good port to go to. Time to go to India.
