Bartolomé de las Casas wrote: ...one of the ships, or both, had the need of careening, which is to renew or mend the parts that travel under the water, and to put tar and wax in them, and entered the port we now call Havana, and there they careened so the port was called de Carenas.
Bartolomé de las Casas zapisao je: ...jedan od brodova, ili oba, morali su biti popravljeni, što znači obnoviti ili popraviti dijelove ispod vode, i staviti katran i vosak u njih, te smo ušli u luku koju sada nazivamo Havana, gdje su izvučeni na obalu te se luka naziva de Carenas.
