Christopher Columbus

A query by Cul_lector about a Chilean Columbus stamp had me thinking about a topical thread dedicated to the explorer. A search found numerous threads regarding Columbian issues, and one from our friend Wadmalatz with some interesting stamps depicting the gentleman.

Is it true that Columbus had a fourth ship, The Isabella, but that ship fell off the side of the earth

That's what I heard bobgggg, they hung a left when they should've hung a right!

Surprised these have not been put up yet.

I'm not, they are pretty small!

wasn't the Isabella honoured by the band Kansas on one of their album covers?
