After sailing across the Atlantic Ocean, Italian explorer Christopher Columbus sights a Bahamian island, believing he has reached East Asia. His expedition went ashore the same day and claimed the land for Isabella and Ferdinand of Spain, who sponsored his attempt to find a western ocean route to China, India, and the fabled gold and spice islands of Asia.

Three of his ships, La Pinta, La Niña and La Santa María, made it to the New World. Little do most folks know that Columbus had a fourth ship -- the Luigi. Unfortunately, the Luigi fell of the edge of the earth.
