Captain Zhou Wen

Captain Zhou Wen also went along with Hong Bao and Zhou Man to the Cape Verde Islands off the west coast of Africa.  From then, they all split up and Zhou Wen went north-west and Hong Bao and Zhou Man went west.  He eventually landed on the Caribbean Islands.  While he was there, he explored and charted that area.  After he left there, he ventured off up the east coast of the United States.  Zhou Wen and his fleets set their eyes on landing in what is now Rhode Island.  He sure enough landed there, but that's not the interesting part.  While he was there,he noted a mysterious stone tower that he did not create.  That is proof that he was in Rhode Island because that stone tower is still there.  When he left Rhode Island, he continued to sail north where he rounded Greenland and discovered the North Pole.  He sailed around the Arctic Sea and eventually returned home from the north.
