People really didn't retire back at the day, like we do now.

But Cristopher Columbus arrived back to Spain from his last (fourth) voyage to the New World at 1504, when he was 54 years old. 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. King Ferdinand released Columbus after only six weeks of inprisonment in Spain. Columbus wrote two books at his later years.
