Christopher Columbus met several explorers and navigators during his voyages, including the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci, who later became known for his contributions to the understanding of the New World. Columbus also encountered various indigenous peoples in the lands he explored, including the Taino and Arawak tribes in the Caribbean. However, his most significant interactions were with the Spanish monarchs, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, who sponsored his expeditions.
Juan Ponce De Leon was actually the first because Christopher Columbus actually landed in the Bahamas and Juan landed in Puerto Rico and Dominican republic and Florida .
Christoper Columbus is not a saint. St. Christopher, by legend, carried a child across a river. The child later revealed himself as Christ. In that way, St. Christopher became the patron saint of travelers. The real St. Christopher may have lived during the 4th century, B.C.
