Synopsis

Columbus' fourth voyage proved unsuccessful: he failed to find a westward passage, returned without gold, suffered losses in both men and ships, and his attempts to establish a colony were unsuccessful. The Spanish monarchs had no intention of restoring the rights and privileges that had been revoked from Columbus following his first voyage. As a result, Columbus faced public disgrace. Many of the surviving sailors were unwilling to return home and instead chose to remain on Hispaniola or the nearby island of Puerto Rico.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
