It was from Pinta that land was first sighted. While exploring the islands, the flagship Santa Maria was run aground in fierce winds and was totally disabled. Forced to sail on the Nina, Columbus feared he would never make it back to Spain because of severe weather. He wrote down the story of his discovery and threw it over the side. He was determined that the world would know his story even if he died before reaching Spain!
