A Storm Blocks the Return Home

Columbus and his men encounter the natives of the Caribbean Islands, then continue to sail from island to island in search of gold. On the island of Hispaniola, the Santa Maria is then stranded on the rocks. Columbus looses the ship, and Martin Alonso Pinzon then "disappears" with the Pinta. The admiral decides to build a small fort on the island, to leave some brave volunteers behind to guard the fort, and lastly, to find Pinzon before returning to Spain.
