Well, I don't know if it was really a failure. His primarily gold was to discover how to sail directly from Europe to India. He presented his plans to the portuguese court, but it was not aceepted. Spain did, but with huge doubts of his success. On his first try, he endep up going to Lisbon, Portugal. On his second try, he decided to cross all the planet, by travelling to Ocident. That's how he discover the American continent. So, on one hand, considering that he wanted to arrive do India, and he end up going to the Bahamas, it's really a failure, but on the other hand, he discovered a new continent, so his failure was quite helpful.
