One of the first registered hurracane sank that fleet. Francisco de Bobadilla did not follow recommendations or counseling of one of the most experimented sailors of the time (Christopher Columbus).
The area in which the fleet sank cover many square miles between the West part area of Puerto Rico and La Espanola (Dominican Republic/Haiti Island). That area is known as La Mona Passage.
