Christopher Columbus left Cádiz on May 9, 1502 and sailed to Arzila on the Moroccan coast to rescue some Portuguese soldiers on the way to his Fourth Voyage to the Americas.
"On May 11, 1502, Christopher Columbus set out on his fourth and final voyage to the New World with a fleet of four ships. His mission was to explore uncharted areas to the west of the Caribbean in hopes of finding a passage to the Orient. While Columbus did explore parts of southern Central America, his ships disintegrated during the voyage, leaving Columbus and his men stranded for nearly a year."
