# The Pinzón brothers share command and local recruitment as a dated co-authorship of the first voyage

Date: 1492

## The fact

The Pinzón brothers shared command and Palos recruitment on the first voyage. [Columbus](/people/christopher-columbus) did not uniquely crew the ships. Co-command is this Fact. Christopher Columbus's documented role is: Martín Alonso and Vicente Yáñez Pinzón raised men and captained. Columbus did not uniquely crew Palos.

## Context

Palos families are the labour pool. Sharing command with the Pinzóns is required. The setting of The Pinzón brothers share command and local recruitment as a dated co-authorship of the first voyage is the public file around 1492-08-04. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [labour-market-tightness](/drivers/labour-market-tightness) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.
