A journey across the Atlantic from Europe to North America could take from one to three months, depending on the season and the destination.

How did the Spanish contribute to the ocean exploration?
Christopher Columbus, an Italian sea captain, was convinced that her could reach India by sailing west, across the Atlantic. Columbus, like many others of this time, accepted that the world is a sphere. Therefore, it made sense to him that a ship sailing west would eventually reach Asia. It made sense to Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain, too. The thought of the great riches to be gained convinced them to support Columbus's voyage. Which is what the Spanish people contributed to the ocean exploration.
