Summary
On August 3, 1492 three ships commanded by Admiral Cristóbal Colón (Christopher Columbus) departed from the port of Palos. On October 12, 1492 Columbus touched American soil on a small island of the archipelago of the Bahamas, called Guanahaniand, and renamed it San Salvador. The second voyage departed from Cadiz on September 25, 1493, reaching American soil at the beginning of November, with a fleet of 17 ships and 1,200 men, among whom was the first papal vicar for the Indies, Fray Bernardo Boyl. Another vicar was the Hieronymite hermit Ramón Pané, who was the first missionary to begin evangelizing the indigenous Taíno people.
