Christopher Columbus Saw Land! Early in the morning on October 12, 1492, a sailor looked out to the horizon from the bow of his sailing ship, the Pinta, and saw land. After 10 long weeks at sea, from the port of Palos, Spain, Columbus and his crews saw the New World.
The three events were:
Columbus found or landed in the Bahamas (12 Dec 1492) and in the islands of the Caribbean
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
