Answer:

Sailors have given a great contribution to explore the world. They left their homes behind and put their lives in danger for the purpose of knowing earth.

Explanation:

During the 15th and 16th centuries, leaders of many European nations funded enterprises abroad in the hope that sailors would find great wealth and unexplored lands.

The first great enterprise of the "Age of exploration" was initiated by Henry the Navigator, prince of Portugal to search for a sea route east by south to Cathay.
Columbus was not only Italian explorer but he was a successful navigator who travelled four thousands miles in Atlantic ocean.
After exploring some lands he decided to travel to India, therefore he named it as west Indies.
In the certain course of time, this exploration also contributed to the discovery of America.
Then after further explorations a certain continent was discovered by Amerigo Vespucci. Therefore, this continent named as America after him.
In 1419, Portuguese explorers discovered the Madeira then discovered the Azores in 1427. Vasco da Gama would follow the Cape of Good Hope route in 1490 all the way to India.
