EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the historic moment when Christopher Columbus and his fleet of three caravels, the Santa Maria, Niña, and Pinta, first arrived at Guanahani Island in the Bahamas on October 12, 1492. Columbus, the intrepid explorer, stands at the bow of the Santa Maria, gazing at the new land with a sense of wonder and discovery. The other ships are moored or anchored in the background, with rowboats filled with Columbus' men heading towards the shore. This moment marked the beginning of the European discovery of the Americas and the start of a new era in world history. Guanahani Island, later renamed San Salvador by Columbus, was the first of many new lands that Columbus and his crew would explore during their Atlantic voyage. The image captures the excitement and anticipation of the moment, as Columbus and his men set foot on a new world, forever changing the course of history.
