		Ganong realised that the La Cosa map might be a simplification of Cabot's own map, the result of successive re-drawings, and also believed that it was made with compasses corrected for the very different declination in Europe, the effect of which was to throw our coasts out of line in the way shown by Cosa.

	As Many Ships As There Are In The Whole Christendom
		The only logical conclusion is that Columbus must have been describing two distinct parts of that harbor; the first, an immense roadstead where ships could ride safely at anchor while awaiting their turn to enter the second part, a small inner harbor thoroughly sheltered from those pervasive trade winds and oceanic surges.
		Juan de la Cosa’s Map - This earliest surviving map of the western hemisphere includes the only landfall image drawn by a voyage participant.
		Worse yet, this interpretation is based entirely on Las Casas' marginal note “peninsula.” Both Las Casas and the Watlings theory have ignored the simple fact that Columbus surely included this word within his extensive geographical lexicon, and, if appropriate, would have used it instead of his prolix 13-word description of Rat Cay's quasi-island status.
