The board becomes a map. The Atlantic is drawn first, then the three ships, then the route that was supposed to reach Asia. The narration explains the miscalculation, the thirty-three days at sea, the landfall in the Bahamas and the confusion that named a continent's people after the wrong place.
How it was made
Made from a plain text topic in the Creative style. History topics work well as a single growing map, which is why this one uses wide, landscape boards with a route that reads left to right.
