Hard Times
• Balboa began his career as an explorer when he sailed from Spain to Columbia in 1500, hoping to find pearls and gold.
• He then had to abandon his leaky ship, on an island called Hispaniola.
• Because he owed so much money, Balboa tried to farm, and ended up failing.
• Then had to stow away on a ship to San Sebastian, then later to find out that it had been burned.

• Balboa then went on a voyage with many men, to the Isthmus of Panama. Once he had climbed a mountain, he over looked the peak and had discovered the Eastern part o the Pacific Ocean, in 1513.
• A few years later, Balboa had been charged with treason (but had actually been framed by a friend) and was publicly beheaded in 1519, in Acla.
