Where was Columbus's crew stranded when he put down a mutiny?

Answer 1

Yes, they did. On october, the seventh Columbus had to face a mutiny because the crew felt taht they were lost in the middle of the Ocean. At the beginning of the voyage, the did not trust very much in an foreigner who wanted to carry out a crazy project; however they finally accepted to enroll in such an adventure. But after thirty days sailing in the middle of the scary ocean they thought that Columbus was lying about the distance to sail to get ashore. The admiral could finally suffocate the mutiny, but three days later a secon mutiny, harder than the first one, occurred. They were completely sure that Columbus was not telling the truth about the distance to sail to find land, and that they were being deceived into thinking they were not lost. This time the Pinta's captain, Martin Alonso Pinzon had to intervene, because the crew even thought of throwing Columbus off the ship. As Alonso Pinzon was a well known mariner who counted on the admiration of the crew, the seafarers calmed down, but Columbus had to commit himself to return if they did not find land in three days. Two days later, they finally came across the New World.
