Columbus's Cursed Colony
In 1494, Christopher Columbus made a second journey to the Americas—this time with more ships, more men, and a grander mission. His goal was to build the first European colony in the New World. But in just a few short years, this settlement would perish with one-fifth of its inhabitants dead, at least six ships sunk in the bay, and the legacy of Columbus permanently marred. What happened at this ill-fated settlement remains a mystery 500 years later.
It's the spot in the Caribbean where the Old World first met the New.
In Columbus' Cursed Colony join two scientific expeditions on a journey that takes you beneath the waters of La Isabela Bay in Dominican Republic to search for the lost fleet of Christopher Columbus.
Then meet the team on land to decode clues in hi-tech labs and discover the secrets locked in European snails!
