Cortes arrived at the coast of Villa Rica with a fleet of 11 ships, of which 10 were sunk on his orders to make clear to his men that there was no way for them to back out of the expedition to conquer the Aztec civilization and return home.

Well, if you recall the post about the dirty world we've created - in the Cortes days, they must have taken time out to clean up their mess. Kudos!
