With all we read today about
man’s probes into outer space, let
us turn back the calendar and re-
view the discovery of the new
world by Columbus nearly five
hundred years ago.
Columbus must have been a
good navigator to discover Amer-
ica and find his way home . . .
even if he was seasick much of
the time. With none of the mod-
ern luxuries that almost make
navigation an electronic breeze, he
had to rely on “dead reckoning.”
This means he figured out where
he was going on the basis of di-
rection, time and speed, according
to The World Book Encyclopedia.
Direction was easy to find with
the good compasses available.
Time was measured by an hour-
glass, presided over by a ship’s
boy, who turned it over the mo-
ment all the sand had run out and
kept a record with marks on a
slate.
Distance was figured by multi-
plying speed by the time traveled.
But there was no way to measure
speed, so Columbus estimated it.
The records show that the “Ad-
miral of the Ocean Sea” overesti-
mated his speed . . . but because
he was consistently wrong, the
mistake didn’t prevent him from
getting back to Spain.
Even with a more reasonable
estimate, Columbus made good
time. Ships like the Nina, the
Pinta and the Santa Marie—called
