After being shocked to find out that all of his forts in Navidad were burnt down, and his men were dead, he left the island. Columbus then sailed eastward along the coast of Hispaniola, looking for a place to found a new colony. On December 8, he settled at a good spot and founded a new town, which he named La Isabela, named after the Spanish queen. Columbus and the forts found out that there were much of silver in the island, so they excavated for silvers. The next several months were spent in establishing the colony and exploring the interior of Hispaniola. After exploring the isalnd, Columbus decides to set sail from Isabela with three ships, in an effort to find the mainland of China on April 24, 1494.
This event is significant, because this island was exatraordinarily big, and also, Columbus stayed in the island for several months to establish a new colony in there.
