The Spanish crown, aware that the Portuguese crown has sent Vasco da Gama off to India, finally authorizes Christopher Columbus to make a third voyage.
Despite difficulties in recruiting a crew, Columbus leaves with six ships from Sanlúcar, Spain, on May 30, 1498, for his third trip to the New World.
Three of the ships head directly for Hispaniola with much-needed supplies, while Columbus will take the other three in an exploration of what might lie to the south of the Caribbean islands he had already visited, including a hope-for passage to continental Asia.
