The first known Spanish landing[4] on the Yucatán Peninsula was a product of misfortune, when in 1511 a small vessel bound for the island of Santo Domingo from Darién, Panama ran aground on some shoals in the Caribbean Sea, south of the island of Jamaica.[5] The ship's complement of fifteen men and two women set off in the ship's boat in an attempt to reach Cuba or one of the other colonies, but the prevailing currents forced them westwards until after approximately two weeks of drifting they reached the eastern shoreline of the Peninsula possibly in Current-Day Belize
