In early November of 1503,during Christopher Columbus' fourth and final trip to America,his ship was seriously damaged in a storm.Columbus and his men had to live on a small island for several months while they tried to repair their ship and return to Spain.
At first,the local people on the island were very kind to the European visitors,giving them all the food and clothes they needed to survive.However,as the months passed,the local people became more and more unhappy with their guests,who were tricking and stealing from them.Finally the locals decided to stop helping.Without food or any way to leave the island,Columbus' group was soon in serious trouble.
