After Columbus left La Navidad, he decided to had to southeast. He continued southeastward to Jamaica (Enormous Island that's right next to Cuba), and was surprised in anger and enlightenment when he came found the Pinta and its captain, Pinz on July 6. Columbus's anger on Pinz was eased by his relief at having another ship for his return to Spain. Now with enough ships, Columbus could have the 40 men in La Navidad back on his ships.



This is really positively important event for Columbus. This meant of all Columbus' ships being united again, and also meant that he could have back those 40 men who are in La Navidad back on Pinta.
