Just a question. What sort of cargo and how much of it did he bring with him to the Americas on his first journey (and if you know, subsequent journeys)? I know he had many glass beads and caps, but did he have anything practical? Say, firearms, armor, swords? Did he carry any valuable goods like sugar or spices, or gold/silver?
Additionally, what kind of personnel did Columbus have with him? Were there priests, soldiers, cartographers, doctors? How many? Etc.
