Although he was arrested and imprisoned at age 48 and then brought back to Spain (because he had used torture to govern in the West Indies), that could be the age when his "career" ended.

What country in Europe was Christopher Columbus from?
Historians now think he was Spanish. The theory is he took a different persona because his family were political rivals of the crown and the crown would never support his ideas. To back up this theory they point out he only spoke and wrote in Spanish and was married to a Spanish Nobel woman. A rough Italian sailor would never have been permitted to marry into a wealthy Spanish family in the 1400's. Who someone married was very important and political.

Why didnt the king support Columbus even though he liked the idea?
The king's adviser's told him not to because they thought Columbus had mistaken the size of Asia and the Atlantic Ocean (which he had). They also reminded the king of the progress they were making down the coast of Africa looking for their own route to Asia. So he said 'thanks, but no thanks' and Columbus went to Spain to ask Isabella three years later.
