Columbus encountered and survived these shores, off the coast of Spain/Portugal, in these conditions, when he returned from his first voyage of discovery. Irrespective of whatever else he was, he was a master sailor. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

He had already been there by the Norse route (up north). He found america but thought it was the 'the Indies' (asia) and that's why he called the natives indians. There good grounds for suspecting that he knew that what he had found was not the Indies but that he had fudged the arithmetic so as to retain the goodwill (and the money) of the King and Queen. There also are grounds for suspecting that even on that southern route the Portuguese had been there before him. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

There also are grounds for suspecting that even on that southern route the Portuguese had been there before him. The myth of Columbus was that he discovered "America". He did no such thing. In each of the Columbus voyages of discovery he never stepped foot on the North American mainland. He did make it to Central America & the South American coast, but never North America. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/38/Viajes_de_colon_en.svg If anything the 15th Century credit for discovery & exploration of North America (earlier exploration and settlement by Ericksen & various Viking settlements not withstanding) should go to that other Italian working for a royal financier, John Cabot (Giovanni Caboto). Cabot was commissioned by Henry VII of England. It seems the mercenary explorers of the 15th Century were principally Italian, mainly Genovese & Venetian. -- Regards, Savageduck |
