Columbus's vow
Columbus's vow ((スペイン語:El Voto colombino)) was a vow by Christopher Columbus and other members of the crew of the caravel ''Niña'' on 14 February 1493, during the return trip of Columbus's first voyage to perform certain acts, including pilgrimages, upon their return to Spain. The vow was taken at Columbus's behest during a severe storm at sea.
== History ==
Of the three ships on Columbus's first voyage, the flagship, the ''Santa María'', had been shipwrecked in Hispaniola on December 25, 1492,〔 Diario de a bordo del primer viaje de Cristóbal Colón: texto completo (complete text of the Ship's diary of Columbus's first voyage, as assembled by Fray Bartolomé de las Casas (hereafter, ''Ship's Diary''). Entry for 25 December ().〕 leaving only the ''Niña'' and ''Pinta'' to make the homeward voyage. 39 men were left behind,〔''Ship's Diary''. Entry for 2 January ().〕 the first Spanish colonists in the Americas. Columbus took command of the ''Niña''; Martín Alonso Pinzón retained command of the ''Pinta''.
On 14 February 1493, in the Atlantic Ocean east of the Azores, they met with a storm that threatened to capsize the two caravels. In the storm, the boats lost contact with one another, and the crew of the ''Niña'' feared the worst. At that moment the Admiral, Columbus, proposed a series of vows.
