In 1494, Christopher Columbus made a second journey to the Americas with more ships, more men, and a grander mission. His goal: to build the first European colony in the New World. But in just a few short years, his settlement would perish: one-fifth of its inhabitants dead, at least six ships sunk in the bay, and the legacy of Columbus permanently marred. What happened at the ill-fated settlement remains a mystery 500 years later.

In Cameroon, plum season is a highly anticipated time of year.
