So lets say in the middle of Columbus's journey to " The New World " , the ship gets caught in a storm and sinks , killing all the crew.

Would this make people in general scared of exploring?

I think people would assume he " fell " off the world or something.

I think the discovery of the Americans would be pushed back to like the mid 16th century when someone has a crack at trying again.

What do You think?
