[edit] Founding of Portobelo

I've removed the two following contradictory statements from the article, for future correction.

Portobelo port was founded by Christopher Columbus in 1502, on his fourth expedition.

Portobelo was founded in 1597, and called "San Felipe de Portobelo" (referring to King Philip II of Spain).
