Columbus’s Long Road to Admiral of Three Ships
Columbus, aged 56, born in Genoa and educated at Pavia, chose sailing after early dreams. He faced years of rejection from governments including Genoa, Portugal, and two sessions of rulers before Isabella finally funded his voyage. After a decade of refusals, he became admiral with three ships and 150 men.
