Columbus Miscalculates Degrees of Longitude
Ummm, didn’t he bring a compass???
With the Spanish crown behind him, explorer Christopher Columbus set off for the East Indies trying to reach the spice trade in Asia before Spain’s rivals. But sources close to the Spanish Crown say he never made it.
Sources say:
“He [Chris] tried to sail to the East Indies but ended up on some island called the Bahamas instead. After years of lobbying for permission and funding, he tarnished the Crown’s plans and reputation. Needless to say, the Crown is not happy. They are even considering dismissing him from his posts and having him arrested.”
We can’t say we blame them! Do U think Chris should be arrested for his actions??
