Full Documentary Long, long back a man named Christopher Columbus chose he might want to have an occasion named after him. So off he went to Queen Isabella and approached her for three boats to cruise over the sea. He needed to demonstrate that the world was not level and no body would tumble off the edge. He likewise needed to get some dark pepper from the East Indies, as Spain's pepper stash was running low and the meat tasted frightful without it.
The ruler offered to give him a boat yet Chris contended that he required a little armada of boats for the voyage.
"Yo, Isabella! That is a major sea out there," he cried, "Young lady, this ain't going to be no three hour visit ya know. I require two more ships to use as go down." Columbus had seen what happened to the U.S.S. Minnow and he level out declined to spend a few TV seasons stranded on an island the way Gilligan and the Skipper had done.
So Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain gave Columbus three ships: the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. They considered giving him the Titanic also, yet chose to spare that boat for the 1912 disaster and the film of the same name.
Since the boats had no on-board GPS for route, Columbus needed to depend on a compass to give him bearing amid the day. He depended on the stars for bearing around evening time, unless obviously it was overcast in which case he would act like most men and say, "I know the way. I needn't bother with no stinking guide."
Following quite a while of cruising around the boat's group continued asking "are we there yet" and asked to go home. In any case, at this point they were miserably lost yet Columbus resolvedly declined to stop and request headings.
All of a sudden one of the boat's crew members spotted area. While dreams of pizza and pasta, satellite TV, a spotless motel overnight boardinghouse hot shower filled their heads they headed inland. It was 1492; the date was October twelfth.
Columbus told the men they had arrived in India. He called the locals "Indians" and guaranteed them that some time or another they would claim numerous betting gambling clubs.
Be that as it may, this wasn't India. The boat had arrived in a spot called San Salvador in the Bahamas. In spite of the fact that the New World or "The Americas" had dependably been there, this was the first occasion when anybody from Europe had ever discovered it. This opened up a radical new channel for the stone "n" move music industry and haircuts.
The initially recorded festival respecting the disclosure of America by Europeans occurred on October 12, 1792 in New York City. Keeping in mind Columbus, there were just 27 muggings and 10 drive-by shootings happening on that day.
The Italian people group of San Fransisco held their first Columbus Day festivity in 1869. They celebrated by tossing Rice-a-Roni ® from a link auto.
In 1892, President Benjamin Harrison asked subjects to take an interest in the 400th commemoration festivity of Columbus' first voyage. It was amid this occasion the Pledge of Allegiance, composed by Francis Bellamy, was discussed openly interestingly. Strangely there wasn't a solitary complaint to the expression "one country under God" amid this first recitation by people in general.
In 1934 President Roosevelt announced October twelfth as Columbus Day. Be that as it may, similar to their ordinary strategy the administration authorities changed the date from Oct. twelfth to something more reasonable for their timetable.
Presently consistently America takes the second Monday in October to praise the incidental disclosure of America and the introduction of the "Bahamas Cruise Vacation".
