no. It was actually technically the vikings that came first.
On October 11, 1492, Columbus claimed in his dairy that he saw a light that looked like it was from a candle. The next day, October 12, one of his crew members, Rodrigo de Triana, actually saw land.

Most likely because it means that land was nearby.
Does the sayiing; "Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue, in 1492" ring any bells with you?
