Columbus Sets Sail
from Same Day, Different Century · host Zach Ipsen
On August 3, 1492, Christopher Columbus and about ninety men set sail, carrying a chart with a number on it that was wrong. Portugal's experts had rejected his plan. So had Castile's. Their objection was never the shape of the Earth, which every educated person involved knew was round. It was the width of the ocean.Send me a text!Support the show
