When the ship carrying Paul encountered a severe storm, the vessel found shelter in the lee of Cauda, where the crew was able to secure the lifeboat and reinforce the ship's hull. Though Cauda was insignificant in size and population, its association with Paul's dramatic journey gained it enough religious importance that it was later designated as a bishopric during Byzantine times.
