He was the captain. He got the credit.
Moreover, he had the vision. It wasn't too many people that thought it was possible to circumnavigate the globe.

The same reasons that Hitler and Castro and Stalin and Che and Bush and Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix and Micheal Manley and Saddam Hussein and Christopher Columbus and Roy Keane and Shaquille O'Neal and Spike Lee all get full credit from time to time for certain deeds which they were not fully 100% responsible for, but were probably the primary instigators of.........

There's even daubt about whether Cristopher Columbus even "discovered" America. The current thinking is that he went south because he knew America was there but didn't know how big it was. Then there's the strange person called "John Americ"

Well, we know that he didn't land in North America, but in fact came across islands in the carribean and even further south.

St. Brendan the Navigator sailed to Newfoundland in the 6th century. He was Irish. Good stuff. Columbus was a prick, and a damn blasted liar. He first landed on Jamaica, I think.

Tim Severin is an Irish explorer who recreated the voyage Brendan made in the sixties or seventies. Yeah, he's pretty cool in a stupid kind of way.

the first ones to dsicover and disembark in america were the vikings, and they called it "Vinland" yet they were scared with the natives (they believed they were possessed by some war god or something) and runed away form america so columbo dindt discovered nothing, besides we (portuguese) alredy knew the existence of another continent why do you think he was rejected by the portuguese king?
No I dont think it was jamacia,It was like hispanola or san salvador.

"Evidence of this?"
Archaeologists found stones inscribed with phoenician writing in places like Kentucky. How did these stones get there? Obviously, someone, who was most likely Phoenician, brought their knowledge of Phoenician writing to America. They also think that some Native Americans are descendants of the Phoenicians. It is entirely possible because the Phoenicians were incredibly skilled sailors who were sailing around the Indian Ocean centuries before Europeans sent explorers there. It isn't much of a stretch to say they made it to North America, but it would have certainly been difficult.
