First Day Of 1852 Research Paper
I’m Jimmy in the year of 1852 I signed up to go on a raft and help look for undiscovered land. As I was getting on the raft I met this man named Joe we became friends. We looked for years but still didn’t find any new land. At that point no one believes that we will find land.
One day this great big storm came upon us it left many men dead and injured including Joe. It also made are raft begin to sink slowly. We were trying so hard to get it fixed but nothing worked. I tried to get other boats to help us but no one would. I started to go crazy at one point I almost killed myself but everyone stopped me before I could. We all died the next day by the raft sinking the night before.

Moreover, how he hoped to achieve such a goal in Canada.

    I was born in 1457, Jerez de los Caballeros, Mexico. I am a Spanish explorer. As a young boy I had two dreams: to become a famous explorer and to be an Olympic fencing champion. My Olympic dream never materialized. After I became big I went on an expedition to South America in 1501. One year later I myself found one island of Hispaniola. Several years later, in 1510, I enjoyed the change in fortune when I became acting governor of Darien. From there I led an expedition to Panama Some Indians told me that the land was located across the mountains near the great sea. When I approached Panama I spotted the great sea that I longed to see: The Pacific Ocean! Sadly I lived only a few more years on January 1519, I was sentenced to death. Long time back all explorers had no technology so they don’t know where they are going but I didn’t let my exploration be a failure so I took a compass to see the directions and an astrolabe to look at the position of the stars and know where I am going.…
