Cost of Columbus Fleet in Early Exploration
The piece argues Queen Isabella's jewel bag mythos around Columbus, noting £3,000 for three ships, Columbus earning £305 annually, and other captains £200, with crew wages $2.50 a month. It compares 15th century costs to modern extravagant spending by billionaires, suggesting high early voyage expenses were modest in value then.
