Christopher Columbus embarked on his first voyage to the New World in 1492, departing from the Spanish port of Palos de la Frontera. He sailed southwest across the Atlantic Ocean, making stops in the Canary Islands before heading westward. Columbus reached the Bahamas, landing on an island he named San Salvador, which marked the beginning of European exploration in the Americas. His route primarily followed a westward trajectory, driven by the desire to find a direct trade route to Asia.
