Christopher Columbus embarked on his fourth and final voyage to the Americas on May 11, 1502, departing from the port of Cádiz with four ships: La Capitana, La Gallega, La Vizcaína, and the Santiago de Palos. Historical accounts connected to this journey note an event involving a lunar eclipse where Indigenous populations reportedly approached the ships amid great cries and lamentations.
