Question: Guanahani was visited by an explorer's first voyage born where?
Context: Locko was originally the French East Indiaman "Modeste", built in France.  The Royal Navy captured "Modeste" in 1778, while she was on the return leg of her maiden voyage, whereupon individuals associated with the British East India Company (EIC) purchased her.  She entered the EIC's service in 1780, then performed three voyages for the EIC.  On the first voyage she was present at the Battle of Porto Praya, and led an inconclusive attack by five merchant vessels on a French frigate.  The second and third voyages were much less eventful.  "Locko' "s owners disposed of her on her return in 1788 from her third voyage. Guanahani is an island in the Bahamas that was the first land in the New World sighted and visited by Christopher Columbus' first voyage, on October 12, 1492.  It is not known precisely which island it was, and several theories have been put forth by historians.  "Guanahani" is the native Taíno name; Columbus called it San Salvador. The Clontarf was an immigration clipper ship which sailed from England to New Zealand between 1858 and 1860 on commission for the Canterbury Provincial Government.  Sailing under the flag of Willis, Gann and Co, its first voyage sailed from Plymouth 20 September 1858, and after a journey of 105 days arrived at Lyttelton, New Zealand on 5 January 1859 with 412 immigrants.  With one successful run complete it returned to England to collect its next passengers.  On 30 November 1859 the "Clontarf" left London with 430 people on board.  This voyage met with unforgiving bad weather, and a rampant plague of measles, whooping cough and tropical diseases swept mercilessly through the ship.  It arrived at Lyttelton after 105 days with many fatalities.  On a normal voyage for any other immigration ship of that time it was expected that up to five people may die from frailty, accident or birth at sea.  On the second voyage of the "Clontarf" 41 people died including five adults, but also 36 children, and that was to give "Clontarf" her infamy.  Due to her reputation immigrants chose not to sail on her again, and she was officially dismissed of her duties of ferrying immigrants to New Zealand in 1861. The Fontanilla is the former public fountain of Palos de la Frontera in Spain where, according to tradition, these fountains provided the water for the ships of Cristopher Columbus's first voyage—the "Santa María", the "Niña", and the "Pinta"—when, on 3 August 1492, they departed from Palos de la Frontera, captained by Columbus and by Palos's own Pinzón Brothers.  That voyage is widely considered to constitute the discovery of the Americas by Europeans.  La Fontanilla is the least dramatic, but perhaps the most original and authentic monument among the so-called "Lugares colombinos", the places in Huelva closely associated with Columbus's first voyage. The New Zealand quail ("Coturnix novaezelandiae"), or koreke (the Māori name), has been extinct since 1875.  The male and female were similar, except the female was lighter.  The first scientist to describe it was Sir Joseph Banks when he visited New Zealand on James Cook's first voyage.  Terrestrial and temperate, this species inhabited lowland tussock grassland and open fernlands.  The first specimen to be obtained by a European was collected in 1827 by Jean René Constant Quoy and Joseph Paul Gaimard on Dumont D'Urville's voyage. The 1492 light sighting was a sighting of unknown light during the first voyage of Christopher Columbus on October 11, 1492, by some crew members of "Santa Maria", "Pinta" and possibly "Niña" shortly before the landing on Guanahani.  The light was reported in Columbus' journal, Ferdinand Columbus' "Vita del Ammiraglio" ("The Life of the Admiral"), the proceedings of the "Pleitos colombinos" (the long lawsuit involving the heirs of Columbus) and some other sources. Columbus's letter on the first voyage is the first known document announcing the results of the first voyage of Christopher Columbus that set out in 1492 and reached the Americas.  The letter was ostensibly written by Columbus himself, on February 15, 1493, aboard the caravel "Niña", while still at sea, on the return leg of his voyage.  A post-script was added upon his arrival in Lisbon on March 4, 1493, and it was probably from there that Columbus dispatched two copies of his letter to the Spanish court. Christopher Columbus (Italian: "Cristoforo Colombo" ] ;  1451 20 May 1506) was an Italian explorer, navigator, and colonizer.  Born in the Republic of Genoa, under the auspices of the Catholic Monarchs of Spain he completed four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean.  Those voyages and his efforts to establish settlements on the island of Hispaniola initiated the permanent European colonization of the New World. The second voyage of HMS "Beagle", from 27 December 1831 to 2 October 1836, was the second survey expedition of HMS "Beagle", under captain Robert FitzRoy who had taken over command of the ship on its first voyage after the previous captain committed suicide.  FitzRoy had already thought of the advantages of having an expert in geology on board, and sought a gentleman naturalist to accompany them as a supernumerary.  The young graduate Charles Darwin had hoped to see the tropics before becoming a parson, and accepted the opportunity.  He was greatly influenced by reading Charles Lyell's "Principles of Geology" during the voyage.  By the end of the expedition, Darwin had already made his name as a geologist and fossil collector, and the publication of his journal which became known as "The Voyage of the Beagle" gave him wide renown as a writer. The Tasman Sea (Māori: "Te Tai-o-Rehua") is a marginal sea of the South Pacific Ocean, situated between Australia and New Zealand.  It measures about 2000 km across and about 2800 km from north to south.  The sea was named after the Dutch explorer Abel Janszoon Tasman, who was the first recorded European to encounter New Zealand and Tasmania.  The British explorer Captain James Cook later extensively navigated the Tasman Sea in the 1770s as part of his first voyage of exploration.
