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. Nevertheless, Columbus stated his sighting was the first sighting of land, which allowed him to keep the reward money promised to the first person to see land.
