Columbus sights the Cayman Islands
On his fourth and final voyage, Christopher Columbus was blown westward on the way to Hispaniola and sighted two small, low islands, now Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. The surrounding sea was so full of turtles that he called them Las Tortugas. The islands, later renamed after the caimans once found there, became a vital stop for sailors seeking fresh turtle meat.
