No, he did not. He never knew North America existed. He only got to the Bahamas and one of the mistakes he made trying to get to Asia was he went west to go east. There is a powerful current that moves between Europe and North America and he sailed into that current without knowing, but he stopped too soon. Had he continued he would have bumbled into Florida, but his crew was ready to throw him over board when he found Hispinola. Columbus was not a very nice person and was very greedy.
