Are you sure about the Lisbon part? I was in Sevilla last week and they spare no effort to tell that’s where Columbus departed from, as well as all boats to the Americas in the following century.

Sevilla is not a coastal city is it? According to Wikipedia he left from Palos de la Frontera.

On the morning of 3 August 1492, Columbus departed from Palos de la Frontera, Huelva, going down the Rio Tinto and into the Atlantic.[36][37]

But he was buried in Sevilla.
