 * // The Voyages of Columbus

The Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria sailed out of a Spanish port around dawn on August 3, 1492. A few months later he would reach a land known to the Europeans as the astonishing new world or new land. Columbus called the new land San Salvador which means "Holy Savior". He journeyed back to the new world in September of 1493 with 17 ships. His plan was to transform the Caribbean Islands to European colonies or land that was controlled by another nation. //**
