| Sep 27, 2013 at 10:21 | comment | added | user2590 | That map is not referring to the various voyages of Columbus. Columbus never even reached the North American mainland. Hard to say exactly what it's referring to... what is the source of that map? | |

| Sep 27, 2013 at 8:41 | comment | added | Lennart Regebro | Also, that map of Columbus voyages is completely wrong. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Viajes_de_colon_en.svg | |
| Sep 27, 2013 at 8:38 | comment | added | Lennart Regebro | Columbus thought he arrived in Asia, because that's where he expected to to arrive. Quite simple. | |

| Sep 27, 2013 at 5:47 | comment | added | Mistu4u | @FelixGoldberg, Apparently, we don't know for sure. If you have some idea, share with us. | |
