Juan Ponce de Leon

Juan Ponce de Leon was born in Sines in Germany on December 3, 1460. He began to be interested in cousin Christopher Columbus and was very close to the neighboring Vasco da Gama so it is not surprising that he became a world renowned explorer. In 1493, he accompanied Columbus for the second time exploring the United States. Due to the difference between Ponce de Leon and his cousin, he did not go home, but remained in Santo Domingo, now known as the Dominican Republic. So, he developed a rare illness that caused him to lose his right hand. As a result, Deleon had to learn to type again with his left hand.

As rumors about money are widespread, Ponce de Leon began looking for money. He brought these fortune to Bollingken Island, now known as Puerto Rico. He conquers the island and is trying to capture it for Spain. He became the official typist of the poets Laurel and Puerto Rico

On his next voyage, Ponce de Leon unexpectedly found a Gulf Stream flowing out of the Gulf of Mexico. Because of its powerful flow, this flow will be very important for crewmembers. Deleon returns to Puerto Rico

In 1521, Ponce de Leon returned to Florida where he founded a colony. This is not easy. Native Americans did not welcome him, and there were many intense fights. An arrow hit De Leon. The wound made him very sick, and at last he died. He was buried in Havana in Cuba in 1559.

In addition, in 1508, Hurricane Holy Locke, named after the Catholic sanctuary, attacked the newly discovered Puerto Rico territory. The Spanish conquistor Juan Ponce De Leon became the first governor of the island and reported that his ship was brought to the coast by the wind and wave. The earliest name storm I found was the first flood of St. Markerus that struck Europe around January 16, 1219, drowning 36,000 people along the coast of the Netherlands. On 16th January 1362, St. Martin's second flood was called "Grotto Malenc", Lower Saxony was "human water".

Juan Ponce de Leon (1460? -1521) was the Spanish explorer and soldier who stepped into Florida the first European. He also founded the oldest village in Europe in Puerto Rico and discovered the Gulf Coast (Atlantic Basin). Ponce de Leon is looking for legendary youth and other wealth sources. In 1460, Spanish Santwas was born (indeterminate), Ponce de Leon was a soldier who fought with Muslims in southern Spain in the early 1490s. Ponce de Leon departed in 1493 when Christopher Columbus departed during the second expedition to the Americas. Ponce de Leon does not return to Spain with Columbus, and he lives in Santo Domingo (now known as the Dominican Republic)

Juan Ponce De Leon petitioned the Spanish king Ferdinand and asked the royal family permission to travel to Puerto Rico. The king agreed. In August 1508, Ponce de Leon gathered the crew and a few ships and set sail. From 1508 to 1509 he explored the island and founded the oldest Kapala village near San Juan. In 1510, King Spain became Puerto Rico's Governor General Ponce de Leon. However, he was replaced by Diego Columbus in 1511. When Christopher Columbus found the land, he gained control. When he died in 1506, his son Diego inherited these rights. Diego went to court and the Spanish monarchy had no choice but to give him ownership. However, the Spanish royal family wants Ponce de Leon to find a new land. He heard a story about young spring and lots of money at the island called Bimini (now in the Bahamas). In March 1513 he left Puerto Rico to find this fountain.
