1492 Alonso Columbus Lorgues Martin Partner Pinta Pinzon


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the quaint and historic town of Lorgues, located in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. The image, taken from a slight elevation, reveals the picturesque streets and buildings of this charming village, with its red-tiled rooftops and stone facades. But what makes this photograph truly extraordinary is the intriguing historical connection it holds. In the foreground of the image, a large banner proudly displays the image of Martin Alonso Pinzon, a little-known but significant figure in the history of exploration. Pinzon was a Spanish navigator and commander, who sailed with Christopher Columbus on his historic voyage to the Americas in 1492. Pinzon was the captain of the Pinta, one of the three ships in Columbus' fleet, and played a crucial role in the successful discovery of the New World. The banner in Lorgues commemorates this historic connection, as Pinzon is believed to have been born in the town, or at least to have had strong ties to the area. The exact details of Pinzon's life are not well-documented, and there is some debate among historians about his origins. However, the people of Lorgues take great pride in their association with this intrepid explorer, and the banner serves as a reminder of the town's rich and fascinating history. This photograph, with its beautiful setting and intriguing historical significance, is a testament to the enduring power of the past to captivate and inspire us. It invites us to explore the stories of the past, to delve deeper into the lives of the people who came before us, and to appreciate the connections that bind us to our history.
