An extract from the 1492 journal of Christopher Columbus. ... and the cape where we anchored, Cabo de la Laguna; in this direction I expected from the laguna
<em>"Saturday, 20 October. At sunrise we weighed anchor, and stood to the northeast and east along the south side of this island, which I named Isabela, and the cape where we anchored, Cabo de la Laguna; in this direction I expected from the account of our Indians to </em>find the capital and king of the island.<em> I found the coast very shallow, and offering every obstacle to our navigation, and perceiving that our course this way must be very circuitous, I determined to return to the westward."</em> - The Journal of Christopher Columbus (1492)
