Queen Isabella was quite ill when Columbus returned. When she died on November 26, 1504, Columbus lost his friend and benefactor. Even though he was wealthy from his many explorations, he still felt he should be restored as governor of Hispaniola. Finally in the spring of 1505, Ferdinand called him to court.

Anxious to win back his good name and discover riches in the Far East, Columbus set sail once again for the new lands. He left Cadiz on May 9, 1502, with four ships and 150 crewmen, one being his 13-year-old son, Diego. He arrived in Hispaniola on June 29 only to be forbidden to land lest he stir up trouble in the colony. A powerful hurricane blew in shortly after Columbus' arrival and destroyed most of the Spanish ships heading back to Spain. Columbus' ships were spared.

With 17 ships, 1,200 men and boys including sailors, soldiers, colonists, priests, officials, gentlemen of the court, and horses, Columbus set out on another journey to the west. He left the port of C diz, Spain, on September 25, 1493 aboard the Mariagalante, his flagship. His purpose for this trip was to establish colonies in the name of Spain, to check on his crew left behind at the fort of Navidad, and to find great riches in what he believed to be part of the Far East.

Христофор Колумб — выдающийся мореплаватель, который, как считается, в 1492 г. открыл Америку. Хотя о ее существовании знали еще древние викинги, а еще раньше кельты, финикийцы, египтяне, китайцы и другие народы. Об этом свидетельствуют некоторые старинные предания и саги.

Колумб, Христофор - Russian

История Колумба - это бесконечная история загадок. Сомнению подвергается абсолютно все - дата его рождения, его происхождение и город, где он родился. За право считать себя родиной Гомера спорили семь греческих городов. Колумбу "повезло" больше. В разное время и в разных местах 26 претендентов (14 итальянских городов и 12 наций) выдвинули подобные претензии, вступив в тяжбу с Генуей. Более сорока лет назад Генуя вроде бы окончательно выиграла этот многовековой процесс. Однако и поныне не смолкают голоса адвокатов ложных версий о родине и национальной принадлежности Колумба.

Christopher Columbus' reputation has not survived the scrutiny of history, and today we know that he was no more the discoverer of America than Pocahontas was the discoverer of Great Britain. Native Americans had built great civilizations with many millions of people long before Columbus wandered lost into the Caribbean.

Columbus's Medinah? - English

October 14 is commemorated by our neighbours to the south as Columbus Day. Now this fact would not normally deserve mention in a Jewish newspaper. As we shall see in a moment, however, there has been some weighty scholarly debate over the possibility that Columbus, though undeniably a devout and zealous Catholic, might also have been the proud descendant of Spanish Jews. Ironically, this view has been championed by some patriotic Spaniards, who would rather have him a Spanish Jew than an Italian gentile.

European Voyages of Exploration: Christopher Columbus - English
URL: http://www.ucalgary.ca/applied_history/tutor/eurvoya/columbus.html

Prior to 1492 and Christopher Columbus' voyage to the Americas, Spain's only possession of any consequence outside Europe were the Canary Islands. By the mid-sixteenth century, however, Spain would control much of the Caribbean, large portions of the Americas and parts of Africa. This rapid acquisition of overseas possessions was accompanied and aided by the establishment and consolidation of hegemony in Europe through a series of political marriages.

His family was respectable, but of limited means, so that the early education of Columbus was defective. Up to his arrival in Spain (1485) only one date has been preserved. His son Fernando, quoting from his father's writings says that in February, 1467, he navigated the seas about "Tile" (probably Iceland).
