Christopher Columbus's first landfall in the New World was on an island he named San Salvador (known to the Lucayans as Guanahahani) which may be Samana Cay or present-day San Salvador Island (also known as Watling's Island), in the central part of the Bahamas Archipelago. Here, Columbus made contact with the Lucayans and exchanged goods with them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahama_Islands Feb 01 08, 7:28 PM

Involving a big fish and a crystal tower, what was the name of this publication, and who was the main protagonist? What were Christopher Columbus' children's names?
