		Christopher Columbus (1451—May 20, 1506) was an explorer and trader who crossed the Atlantic Ocean and reached the Americas in 1492 under the flag of Castilian Spain.
		Columbus later found a lifelong partner in Spain, an orphan named Beatriz Enriquez living with a cousin in the weaving industry of Córdoba, and the two had a son, Ferdinand in 1488.
		The casting of Columbus as a figure of "good" or of "evil" often depends on people's perspectives as to whether the arrival of Europeans to the New World and the introduction of Christianity or the Roman Catholic faith is seen as positive or negative.

		Christopher Columbus arrived in Portugal as the result of a naval battle which blew his ship out from under him and forced him to swim for his life.
		Apparently, Columbus experienced none of the difficulties in obtaining an audience with King John that he was later to encounter in interviewing the Catholic Kings.
		Columbus had the good sense to utilize the knowledge of the winds and currents that he had acquired in the course of his voyages with the Portuguese and to trace the best possible course that would lead him to land on the other side of the world.

	CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS AND HIS VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY IN THE SANTA MARIA 1451 - 1506 - NELSON KRUSCHANDL, SOLAR NAVIGATOR ...
		Columbus left from Cadiz, Spain for his second voyage (1493-1496) on September 24, 1493, with 17 ships carrying supplies and about 1200 men to assist in the subjugation of the Taíno and the colonization of the region.
		Columbus returned to Hispaniola on August 19 to find that many of the Spanish settlers of the new colony were discontent, having been misled by Columbus about the supposedly bountiful riches of the new world.
		Since he never signed his name conventionally, the pseudonymus theory is reinforced, his name meaning in Latin "Bearer of Christ" (Christo ferens) "and of the Holy Spirit" (Columbus, dove in Latin), a reference to the Order of Christ which succeeded the Templars in Portugal and initiated the age of exploration.
