Answer 1

He sailed for Spain. Explored the Caribbean Islands area. He claimed land (his first claim being the Island of San Salvador. In any case, Columbus first landed on Guanahani, which Columbus renamed San Salvador; it was an island in what is now The Bahamas, but there is still uncertainty about which present-day island Columbus actually landed. He also discovered the islands of Cuba and Hispaniola on his first voyage before returning home. Columbus' second voyage consdisted of 17 ships that included groups of prospective new colonists. Columbus became the first European to sight and name many of the islands of the Caribbean, including the following:
Montserrat

Sint Eustatius
Saba
Saint Martin
Saint Croix.
The Virgin Islands, including Virgin Gorda, Tortola, and Peter Island
