notes:
Christopher Columbus landed at La Navidad, Hispaniola, on Christmas eve in 1492, wrecking his flagship, the Santa Maria. Using the wreckage to build a fort and leaving 40 of his men behind, he sailed for Spain. He returned a year later to find the fort destroyed. On his third voyage, Columbus left his brother, Bartholomew, known as the Adelantado, in charge at the new settlement of Isabella. Columbus landed at Trinidad and traveled to the mouth of the Orinoco River but was discouraged from exploring because of the dangerous water. He, nonetheless, became the first European to set foot in South America.
