Description
Christopher Columbus first voyage to the New World was in 1492. With three more explorations, he visited the Caribbean coasts of South America and Central America. In 1498, he discovered a huge fresh water ocean with an island on it somewhere near present-day Venezuela. He and his men described it as the biblical Garden of Eden. But Columbus never told the world what they found. In the following years, Amerigo Vespucci came to the same locality and he mapped an island off of the coast of Venezuela. The Cantino World Map is the earliest surviving map that shows Portuguese discoveries in the east and west. Named after Alberto Cantino who smuggled it to Italy from Portugal in 1502, it portrays a fragmentary record of the South American coast including a floating land mass that's not there in modern maps. In 2000-2013 seven superyachts are built in Germany for Russian oligarchs. In 2014 some are in the Caribbean searching for El Diablo, Utopia or New Atlantis, the fabled island that might still be there with a majestic City of the Sun.
