When Christopher [[Columbus]] sailed the ocean blue, what he was really doing was looking for a sea route to Asia. It didn't turn out quite the way he expected; he made landfall on the island of Hispanola. A related myth is that Columbus discovered or proved that the Earth was round. Unlike many others, these myths are widely known to be false.
