"Cristoforo Colombo--God's Navigator" first presents a true picture of the intrinsic character of Christopher Columbus & the factual purpose of his voyage, then proves conclusively that Columbus was an exceedingly accurate navigator & his navigation log was accurate & easily followed. Peck is a veteran & experienced ocean navigator with an inquisitive & innovative mind that seeks to find the ultimate truth in any project he undertakes. Peck's study involved nine years of intensive academic research & four controlled research voyages reconstructing the tracks of Columbus & Ponce de Leon from the navigational data in their logs, resulting in a positive navigational fix at San Salvador Island. Here the reader will find that Peck's conclusions differ extensively from many popular & accepted writers on the subject. "Peck's book is most opportune in that it corrects the distorted views of Columbus' expertise as a navigator & ends the controversy of his landfall by proving without equivocation that the historic landfall was on the island of San Salvador." - Paolo Emilio Taviani, Dean of the Italian Parliament, Senator for Life, & world renowned Columbian historian & author. This book is not only a readable, informative book for general interest by is a consummate reference book for the serious historian.
