my favorite explorer is marco polo because he was the first person to sail to china also because he is the one who inspired christopher culumbus which is another one of my favorite. I also think it was funny that christopher culumbus thought he was in the indies but he really was at san salvador. I have one more thing to say about marco polo but yet its kinda a question is marco polo the pool game named after him?
HA:)

I also think that Christopher Columbus is exiting and amazing because he was not quiet ready to go on board an actual ship yet because he was about 10 years old when he went on aboard that ship and as the years went by he lied to he crew and got away with it and i dont think he is cool because thats not being trustworthy to your men

Personally i think that Sir Francis Drake was the best explorer, because he was a pirate and he was the first pirate to sail around the world. (probably the only pirate) anyways he got to explore most of the worlds wonders or possibly even discover some of them. unlike Magellan who died on his trip around the world, but he still led his crew to sail around the world, but he still got credit for being the first person to sail around the world.So Sir Francis Drake was personally the first pirate to sail around the world.

I think Columbus is the most interesting explorer because he sailed all the way to San Salvedor from Spain but when he got there he thought it was the Indies.He also is very interesting to learn and read about.His main idea was to get to the Indies but he only sailed to San Salvedor.Columbus went on three expeditions but his last 2 were a failer.And thats why I thnk Columbus is the most interesting explorer.

Hey again,
i wanted to say some things about some explorers i dont have a favorite because i think they are all amazing for even being able to sail. i think it would be fun. But i will start talking about dias he is cool because he was the first person to sail around the tip of africa. also i like sir fransis drake because he was the first pirate to sail around the world. and then there is christophor culumbus the reason why i like him to is also because he has a holiday named after him next thing you know he is going to have a song unless he already does and i just havent heard it yet. but ya that is some of the explorers i thing are amazing.

I like Drake because he was a pirate that sailed the seven seas. Drakes main accomplishment was he was the 2nd to sail around the world.GF

Another explorer that I think that is interesting is Sir Frances Drake.I think he is interesting because he is a pirate and because he sailed around the world. Sailing around the world would be hard for me.I wouldn't have any family and friends but if they came with me thats a whole other story.I think being a pirate like Drake would be fun. And thats why I think Sir Frances Drake is an interesting explorer.

I also think that john smith is pretty cool becaus he was a white man and wanted to make peace with the indians.But the indians wanted know part of him or his men.When john smith had to take food he tried to run but he was caught.The indians were just about to smash his head untill the cheifs daughter jumped on top of him to save him because pochahantes was amuzed by the white men and wanted to become friends with them.the chiefs daughter was very happy her dad did not attack them white men and now i have to go good bye
