Shortly after Columbus discovered America, the first American Christmas was celebrated. On Christmas Eve, the Santa Maria ran aground and Columbus and his men worked in vain to free her. At last she was stripped of much of her gear which was tran­ sferred to the Nina. This extra load on the Nina, in turn, forced Columbus to leave some of his crew behind in a new fort which was named in honor of the holiday, Le Navidad, meaning the Nativity.
