"Columbus crossed the Atlantic Ocean on his third voyage in charge of three vessels on a treasure-hunting expedition undertaken, ironically enough, in the name of the Most Blessed Trinity, and at Noon on July 31st, 1497, he sighted land. Three mountain peaks, merging their bases into one, gradually rose from the iris-blue sea, and these peaks symbolising 'The Holy Three,' Columbus named his discovery 'La Trinidad.' - the opening paragraph.
