DPV – Diver Propulsion Vehicle also known as an underwater propulsion vehicle or underwater scooter,
or swimmer delivery vehicle (SDV) by armed forces, is an item of diving equipment used by scuba divers
to increase range underwater. Range is restricted by the amount of breathing gas that can be carried, the rate
at which that breathing gas is consumed, and the battery power of the DPV. Time limits imposed on the
diver by decompression requirements may also limit safe range in practice. DPVs have recreational,
scientific and military applications.

DPVs include a range of configurations from small, easily portable scooter units with a small range and
low speed, to faired or enclosed units capable of carrying several divers longer distances at higher speeds.

Circle Search – Also known as Swing Circle is a procedure conducted by a diver swimming at a series of
distances (radii) around a fixed reference point. The circular search is simple and requires little equipment.
It is useful where the general position of the objects of the search is known such as Magnetic Anomalies
for a survey.

The general procedure is to start from a fixed central point, and to search the circumference of a circle
where the radius is defined by a search line anchored at the central point. The radius of the circle is
dependent on visibility, and is increased after each circle has been completed, by an amount which
allows the diver to overlap metal detector hoop between the current arc and the previous arc
One end of the distance line is carried by the diver and the other is attached to center pike placed in
position by being pegged into the bottom. The diver unreels a section of distance line appropriate to
the movement of the metal detector hoop from right to left. The diver start position is marked either
by a peg, loose marker, compass heading, or a pre-laid marker line extending outwards from the datum
position. Then, keeping the line taut, the diver swims in a circle with the line as radius, searching
visually or by feel until back at the start position. He then unreels another section of line of the same
length and repeats the procedure until he finds the object, runs into obstacles or runs out of line, air or
time

3
 The amount of distance line increment for each sweep should allow some overlap of sweeps to avoid
the risk of missing the target between sweeps. If a buddy is involved the most efficient place is
alongside the controlling diver on the line, and the extension of distance line for each sweep can be
roughly doubled. Depending on the circumstances, control of the pattern may be from the surface,
from a diver at the central point, or by the diver at the end of the search line, who would in that case
control the search line reel.
Area investigated by Square Feet:
 10-foot diameter Circle Search (79 Sq. ft.)
 20-foot diameter Circle Search (314 Sq. ft.)
 30-foot diameter Circle Search (707 Sq. ft.)
 40-foot diameter Circle Search (1257 Sq. ft.)
 50-foot diameter Circle Search (1964 Sq. ft.)

Hand Fanning – A method in which the diver fans above the object covered by sediment. The diver fans
back and forth, directing the water flow to lift and float the sediment away from the object.

A. General Description.

Seafarer’s Quest is a private corporation affiliated with Seafarer Exploration Corp. (A publicly traded
company) based in Tampa Florida whose business model is to research, locate and recover historically
significant shipwrecks. Seafarer Exploration Corp. has held a number of permits with the Florida Bureau
of Archaeological Research (FBAR) in other areas off the coast of Florida. Seafarer’s Quest was formed by
Seafarer Exploration Corp. (SFRX) to address a business model that included an agreement with Heartland
Treasure Quest (HTQ) Holders of a large permit area off of Brevard County Florida. The agreement
between these two entities portioned an area for investigations by Seafarer’s Quest.

In July 2014 the Florida Bureau of Archaeological Research issued a permit (2014.04) to Seafarer’s Quest
to conduct exploration and preliminary testing of the southern area of the HTQ permit that had been agreed
to be sectioned off of the larger HTQ permit exclusively for Seafarer’s Quest activities Figure 9 Boundary
Chart, page 88; a detailed chart, including the anomaly number, GPS location, gamma strength and the
date investigated (if investigation has been performed) has been provided on the accompanying CD, file
“Seafarer Exploration Area 2 Melbourne 2014-04”, ArcMap file.

Geographically Area 2 is located off – shore of Melbourne Beach, which is located on the Central East
Coast of Florida, having a Northern point of N28°04.366’ and W80°33.516’ and a Southern point of
N28°03.483’ and W080°33.133’. This area extends from a point that meets the mean low water line on the
beach to approximately 2 statute miles seaward.

The majority of the MB514 area seabed is a collection of mud, slit, or muck with very little sand. This is
primarily due to the terrestrial topography of the area and associated runoff from the Everglades that travels
to the ocean in drainage canals. The Gulf Stream which flows north, up the coast of Florida, provides some
clear water that enhances visibility; however, the silt and mud bottom topography off of Melbourne Beach
severely limits visibility.

Additionally, in the MB514 Melbourne beach area, the Gulf Stream – Florida Current Figure 10 Gulf
Stream East Coast of Florida Illustration, page 90, flow constrains the south flowing littoral current off
the promontory of Cape Canaveral. This dynamic causes a low-flow area around the Cape that enhances
the deposit of land derived sediment and sediment deposited by the flow of the Gulf Stream that exacerbates
the visibility problems associated with underwater survey and artifact identification. Sediment transport and
deposit is both an obstacle to overcome and a benefit. This same sediment has encapsulated any wreck
material, sealing it from both air and saltwater, which is apparent with the large collection of wooden
features discovered to date.

The current Seafarer’s Quest investigation offshore of Melbourne Beach and associated artifact material
(Monteros artifacts) discovered in previous years reflects evidence of an association of these artifacts with
the Spanish 1715 New Spain (Mexico) fleet, or other unidentified vessels involved in official or illicit
salvage and possibly lost in another storm related shipwreck incident. Any artifacts that were located during
remote-sensing surveys and target verification remain In-Situ and were conducted under an Exploration
Contract issued by the FBAR, and permits issued by the FL FDEP and US ACOE.

Seafarer’s Quest acknowledges FBAR’s active participation in assisting, providing guidance, advice, and
cooperation with HTQ and others in this research design and survey efforts over the past years work.
Seafarer’s Quest acknowledges that this permit was issued under the authority of Section 276.031(1) and
267.031(5) (n), Florida Statutes, and Rules 1A-31.0012 through 1A-31.090, Florida Administrative Code
(F.A.C.), and is administered by the Florida Bureau of Archaeological Research (BAR), Florida Division

5
of Historical Resources (DHR), Florida Department of State (DOS). All activities carried out pursuant to
this permit must be conducted in accordance with those regulations and laws.

B. Archival Research.

Seafarer’s Quest has been involved in conducting archival research in an effort to uncover historical data
that may lead to the identification of Doña Juana Isabel de Cháves Espinosa de los Monteros, the name
inscribed on the silver charger discovered on the E-155D contract site. BAR archives reflect no previous
research on this site.

E-155D is located within the County of Brevard in the State of Florida. More specifically, it is closely
associated with the Melbourne-Satellite Beach area of Brevard County. This research was conducted based
on three surveys performed in 2005 and 2009. One survey was conducted in 2005 and two were conducted
in 2009. These surveys were submitted to the State with the initial application for an exploration permit.

Exploration of the Melbourne Site (Melbourne) — initially known as the Radar Wreck Site — began years
ago but the first discovery of artifacts was recorded on August 5, 2004. The evidence concludes that the
two diagnostic artifacts: the Monteros Platter, and the Ramirez flintlock pistol, were cargo of the Santisima
Trinidad y Nuestra Señora de la Concepción (Concepción) a vessel of the doomed 1715 Silver Plate Fleet.

Companies working Melbourne over the years have used different methods to survey, locate and
characterize targets found at Melbourne. Those methods included the use of remote sensing equipment and
the use of divers to verify important targets. This led to the first discovery in 2004 which was a 9-pounder
iron cannon. The cannon was found lying in a hard and rocky marine environment that was interspersed
with areas of shallow drifted sand and the cannon heavily encrusted with sea growth.

Immediately after the discovery of the cannon, the divers conducted a swing circle, as defined, around the
cannon. A swing circle, as defined, is a visual survey method which is often difficult at Melbourne because
the water is rarely clear. During this search, divers discovered a number of additional shipwreck artifacts
buried in clay that are believed to be associated with the cannon. These artifacts included two silver platters
also known as chargers, one flintlock pistol, a cannon ball, one sword strap, a boat-hook, a silver knife
handle, and scattered terra cotta pottery shards. The most important artifacts for Melbourne are the silver
platters and flintlock pistol. One of the silver platters was inscribed with the name of a noblewoman, Dona
Juana Isabel de Chaves Espinosa de los Monteros (DeBry 2010). The flintlock pistol had the name of the
maker, Ramirez, on the firing mechanism as well as the date, 1709.

Between 2014 to present, Seafarer Exploration Corp continued investigations further into the area. Utilizing
standard archaeological methods of underwater survey, Seafarer divers discovered additional important
shipwreck material.

The additional material was widely scattered material made of wood that was tentatively identified as ship
timbers. Among the scattered ship timbers, a portion of a ship rail was recorded. The timbers were well-
preserved which helps with identification and indicates that the wood had been buried in anaerobic (oxygen-
free) sediment. This anaerobic environment is not conducive for shipworms, or teredos, the primary cause
of wood deterioration at shipwreck sites.

After analyzing the discovered artifacts, it was conjectured the cultural material from Melbourne constituted
that of a 1715 shipwreck site. The known 1715 Fleet shipwreck sites lay scattered along a stretch of coastline
popularly called the Treasure Coast that is located approximately 14 miles to the south at Sebastian Inlet.
Close examination of the silver platters and flintlock pistol suggest that these artifacts might well serve as
6
diagnostic artifacts. These two diagnostic artifacts may lead to the identification of the Melbourne
shipwreck as one of the missing vessels of the 1715 Plate Fleet. If Melbourne could be proven to contain
one of the missing 1715 Fleet shipwrecks, a new chapter could be added to the extensive history of the lost
fleet. Melbourne could become an important contribution to understanding more about the 1715 Fleet and
could become significant to maritime history and underwater archaeology.

Diagnostic Artifacts in Shipwreck Research

Identifying a shipwreck from artifact material is often difficult, but diagnostic artifacts are often the key to
shipwreck identification. A diagnostic artifact is an artifact or assemblage (collection) of artifacts that can
be definitively linked to a sunken vessel. In 1991, the remains of a wooden sailing vessel were discovered
on Newground Reef near the Marquesas Keys, southwest of Key West, Florida. After examination of the
site’s diagnostic artifacts, which included, leg irons and other artifact material, the determination could be
made that the diagnostic artifacts were clearly associated with a colonial period slave vessel. Further
discovery at the site recovered the ship’s bell that was marked with the name Henrietta Marie — the known
name of a slave vessel (slaver) lost in 1700.

The ship’s manifest and its importance with the Nuestra Senora de Atocha, identification is another example
of using diagnostic artifacts in vessel identification. The Nuestra Senora de Atocha was one of the vessels
of the Spanish Plate Fleet that was lost in a hurricane in 1622. The silver bars on the Atocha each had a
mintmark and were documented on the ship’s manifest. Dr. Eugene Lyon, a noted Spanish colonial period
archivist was able to match mintmarks on the recovered bullion bars against the manifest of the Atocha,
thus proving that a significant portion of this important shipwreck had been discovered (Lyon, 1979).

Melbourne Diagnostic Artifacts

The Platters

When the silver platters were discovered off

Melbourne Beach they immediately went into
artifact conservation. After conservation one
platter provided important information that was
verified in archives that included a 1715 Fleet
ship manifest. This platter was inscribed with
the name, Dona Juana Isabel de Chaves
Espinosa de los Monteros. This immediately
became important and achieved the status of a
potential diagnostic artifact. This simply meant
that if the name could be linked through
archival research to a particular shipwreck or
archive then a historic connection could be
made and perhaps result in the identification of
an unidentified shipwreck. This silver platter is
known as the Monteros Platter.

The Pistol

The conservation process on the flintlock pistol revealed a date on the

firing mechanism of 1709, six years prior to the 1715 Fleet disaster. This
flintlock pistol also became an important discovery. In addition to the
apparent manufacturing date of 1709, a gunsmith’s name, Ramirez, was
also found on the firing mechanism. Ramirez was an established and well-
known gunsmith in Mexico City in the early eighteenth century. A similar
flintlock pistol had been discovered by the Real Eight Corporation on
another wreck of the 1715 Fleet, the Cabin Wreck, a site located two miles
south of Sebastian Inlet and sixteen miles south of the Melbourne Beach
site (DeBry, 2010). The flintlock pistol is another diagnostic artifact,
linking the Melbourne Beach site to the other 1715 Fleet wrecks to the
south. The linkage between the Monteros Platter and the 1709/Ramirez
Pistol to the 1715 Fleet shipwrecks will be developed more extensively
later in this paper.

Figure 2 Ramirez Pistol

Coins on the Beach

Previously, coins discovered on the beach were vital to the later discovery of the 1715 Fleet shipwreck sites
to the south. For decades, coins had been found on Treasure Coast beaches. With coins and other shoreline
treasure finds, Kip Wagner and his Real Eight Corporation associates, began to search in the near-shore
surf zone, and one by one, the other 1715 shipwreck sites were eventually discovered and salvaged.

Through the development of local knowledge in the Melbourne Beach area it has been ascertained that local
metal detectorists have routinely discovered Spanish colonial coins on the beach adjacent to the scattered
offshore site. When cleaned the coins underwent numismatic examination and were found to be from the
Mexico City Mint. The dates on the coins were as early as 1701, with eight and four real coins having later
dates that included 1710 and 1711. No coins have been discovered in the immediate area dating later than
1714.

The Spanish Treasure Fleets in Context

In order to understand the full story of the Monteros Platter and the Ramirez Pistol and their significance in
the 1715 Fleet history, it is salient to describe the organization of the Spanish colonial fleet system and how
these particular artifacts are related to the Spanish treasure fleet.

Generally, each year, from the late 16th century to the mid-18th century, two fleets were dispatched from
Spain to the New World. The Terra Firme Fleet sailed to South America and the Nuevo España Fleet sailed
to Veracruz in present Mexico. A portion of the Terra Firme Fleet sailed to Cartagena on the Caribbean
coast of present Colombia and other vessels sailed to Portobelo on the Caribbean coast of Panama.

On the outward voyage the fleets generally carried passengers destined for the Americas and transported
raw materials and assorted luxury and trade goods that were not available in the New World. One important
piece of cargo was the mercury utilized in the metal-treasure refining process.

The Terra Firme Fleet to South America was the more difficult to organize and manage. The portion of the
Terra Firme Fleet destined for Portobelo would unload cargo at that port, then the land-crossing of the
8
Isthmus of Panama would be undertaken to the Pacific port of Panama City, where the goods were reloaded
on vessels for another leg of the voyage — down the Pacific coast of South America to ports in present
Ecuador and Peru.

Once the two fleets reached their prospective New World ports there was a time to perform maintenance
on the vessels and prepare for the return voyage to Spain by way of Havana. The rendezvous of the Terra
Firme and Nuevo España Fleets in Havana, before the return voyage to Spain, was important. First, the
treasure cargo and manifests from both fleets were offloaded in Havana and the gold and silver coins and
bullion were processed by the crown monetary agents of the Casa de Contractación or “House of Trade.”
These agents counted and weighed the treasure, affixed stamps and seals and prepared official documents
that included the cargo manifests. What was known as the “royal fifth” was the amount of treasure tax that
accrued to the Spanish Crown and collected in Havana.

In the early 18th century the Spanish Crown was under constant pressure to acquire gold and silver resources
to pay for costly wars on the European continent, especially the conflict known as the War of Spanish
Succession that pitted Spain and France against the forces of the English and Dutch. Although the Spanish
acquitted themselves well in continental battles, they fared poorly in naval engagements. In 1702 and 1708
the Spanish were respectively defeated in naval engagements at Vigo Bay, Spain and Cartagena Bay on the
Caribbean coast of South America. The Spanish Crown was in desperate need of the treasure being
transported by the 1715 Fleet.

The Silver Platter and Shipwreck Research

The silver plate inscribed with the name Dona Juana Isabel de Chaves Espinosa de los Monteros constitutes
not only a diagnostic artifact, but also in archaeological terminology what is termed an ‘elite’ artifact. This
simply means that the artifact was the property of, or consigned for the coming voyage from, a wealthy
individual – an ‘elite’ passenger. These privileged passengers would have resided with their portable
property and goods in the stern-castle or upper deck of the ship.

As stated, one of the three platters recovered on the Melbourne Beach site was classified as a silver charger
– a large shallow platter with a name inscribed on the rim of the platter. The inscription reads, Dona Juana
Isabel de Chaves Espinosa de los Monteros. Pursuant to the discovery of the Melbourne Beach site, research
in the Archives of the Indies (Archivo General de Indias, AGI) in Seville, Spain, revealed an entry, that
when translated, documented that a Spanish grandee named Don Joseph de Espinosa de los Monteros had
consigned a shipment of 257 cow hides and a crate of presents (regalos) aboard a vessel named the
Santisima Trinidad y Nuestra Señora de la Concepción. With the outbound fleet from Spain to the
Americas, the Concepción arrived in the New Spain (now Mexico) port of Veracruz on December 3, 1714;
the consignment of cargo was made two months later on February 4, 1715 by Don Joseph de Espinosa de
los Monteros (DeBry archival reference, AGI Consulados 855).

Is anything known about this vessel, the Concepción, before the consignment of animal hides and presents
in the Mexican port of Veracruz on February 4, 1715? A popular press book, Florida’s Golden Galleons
(Burgess and Clausen, 1982) documents the 1715 Fleet shipwreck disaster and later salvage history along
the Treasure Coast of Florida. Carl Clausen was the first State of Florida underwater archaeologist and
carried out an extensive investigation of the 1715 shipwreck sites. In Appendix B of Galleons, a list of the
outgoing Spanish fleet to the Americas is cited. The fleet-list numbers some nine vessels that departed Spain
on September 16, 1712. One of these vessels is named the Santisima Trinidad y Nuestra Señora de la
Concepción. Clausen writes that outward bound from Spain the Concepción paused for water at Puerto
Rico, but then sailed on to the Port of Veracruz without making any other stops in the West Indies. Galleons
documents the ship’s captain as Juan Antonio LaBiosa and the Admiral of the outgoing fleet to the Americas
9
as Captain General Juan de Ubilla; Ubilla is the same Spaniard who led the ill-fated 1715 fleet on the return
voyage to Spain three years later and was lost in that catastrophe.

After de los Monteros made the consignment of hides and presents aboard the Concepción in Veracruz, the
return voyage to Spain via Havana was delayed by a series hurricanes and storms that struck Veracruz and
postponed the loading and departure of the New Spain vessels. Only on May 4, 1715, did the fleet set sail
from Veracruz to Havana and according to Burgess and Clausen arrived about a month later, possibly
around June 4, 1715. The total amount of time that the Concepción had been in Veracruz was some seven
months, a long time for vessels to sit in salt water being buffeted by storms and attacked by shipworms that
could quickly decimate a wooden hull. Undoubtedly there had been maintenance on the fleet, but often
ships began the return voyage to Spain in poor condition necessitating time-consuming repairs in-route.
The Galleons volume also sheds additional information on los Monteros and his wealth and status as a
Spanish Grandee. A vessel listed as ‘Third Merchant’ in the 1712 outward bound fleet lists a vessel named
the Nuestra Senora del Rosario, San Francisco Xavier y las Animas. The owner is listed as Don Joseph de
Chaves Espinosa de los Monteros. If los Monteros had made the voyage out in the las Animas in 1712 why
did he not consign his cargo to this vessel and return on this vessel to Havana in 1715 and on the homeward
voyage to Spain? There are possible answers taking into consideration the shipwreck list provided by
Eugene Lyon and included in the appendices at the end of this paper. Either the vessel was damaged in a
hurricane at Veracruz and was deemed unseaworthy, possibly destroyed in that storm, or the name of the
vessel was changed. Carla Rahn Phillips in her Three Galleons for the King of Spain allocates one paragraph
to Spanish vessel names. Phillips states that vessels were often named for the port or shipyard where the
vessel was constructed, named after a Saint that was important to the owner, or simply changed when a
vessel changed ownership (Phillips 59).

The Monteros Platter Departs Veracruz

The Monteros Platter, consigned and loaded onto the Concepción on February 4, 1715, by de los Monteros,
unequivocally sailed with the New Spain Fleet in route to Havana on May 4, 1715, and arrived about a
month later. It is unknown whether de los Monteros sailed with the fleet from Veracruz to Havana; however,
it is likely that he did. Generally, an elite Spaniard would travel to the Americas, do business, and then after
several years, return home to Spain. It is unknown how long de los Monteros spent in the Americas.
Generally, because of the long distance traveled, Spaniards that journeyed to the Pacific coast of South
American stayed longer than visitors to Veracruz, Mexico. Veracruz was hot, run down, and yellow fever
was endemic. The primary attraction of Spaniards to Mexico, Central, and South America were the gold
and silver mines that had produced precious metals for the Pre-Columbian natives of the Americas, the
Aztec, Maya and Inca, that respectively inhabited the Americas.

The fact that de los Monteros consigned the hides and presents at Veracruz indicates that he possibly had
finished doing business in the Americas and was returning to Spain. It is unknown if de los Monteros also
had a consignment of treasure — coins and bullion — aboard the Concepción. It is possible that he carried
an amount of unregistered contraband treasure in the form of coins and gold chains on his body during the
voyage from the Americas to Spain. It has been theorized, based on salvaged treasure cargos listed on
official manifests and treasure recoveries from shipwreck sites, that perhaps a third or more of the gold and
silver coins and bullion that made the return voyage to Spain was contraband or unregistered treasure.

The Last Voyage of the Concepción

It is reasonable to assume that the Monteros Platter was indeed a present or gift and was consigned aboard
the Concepción as such. The history of de los Monteros in the Americas, as documented in the Archives, is
limited to half a dozen entries and is at best incomplete. It is more than likely that Dona Juana Isabel de
Chaves Espinosa de los Monteros had not accompanied her husband to Veracruz; thus far in this
investigation there is no evidence either way — that she did or did not visit or spend any appreciable time
in the Americas.

The New Spain Fleet arrived in Havana from Veracruz on June 5. This allowed time for the Casa de
Contractación to do their administrative business before the combined fleet departed Havana on July 24,
1715, for the return voyage to Spain. The 1715 fleet departed during the hurricane season. This was a
calculated risk; the fleet had overstayed their voyage to the Americas and there was a need for the gold and
silver coins and bullion in the Royal Treasury in Spain, thus the ill-advised decision was made to set sail.

This paper has utilized a number of sources to document the vessels that comprised the 1715 Fleet, both on
their outward voyage from Spain in September 1712 and on their disastrous return voyage in July 1715.
Along with the Appendix B vessel list in Golden Galleons, other sources address vessels of the return fleet
to Spain as well as modern attempts to identify shipwreck sites after the fleet loss in July 1715.

The Treasure Divers Guide by John Potter, (1972), is a standard avocational source of information in lieu
of any academic-archaeology reference sources that document the lost vessels of the 1715 Fleet. Potter lists
nine shipwrecks lying between Sebastian Inlet and Fort Pierce Inlet; some of the sites are listed by location
like the Rio Mar Wreck and Sandy Point Wreck; others are referenced by notable cargo like the Wedge
Wreck and the Gold/Colored Beach Wreck. Burgess and Clausen in Galleons list ten wrecks; like Potter
they use location and cargo as identifiers, and also list two sites as ‘unnamed wreck’. Potter does not
reference a vessel named the Concepción.

11
Another source, Spanish Colonial Silver Coins in the Florida Collection (Dr. Alan Craig, 2000), a respected
numismatic analysis of treasure coins in the State of Florida collection, includes a chart with seven named
sites. The chart shows the sites arrayed along the Treasure Coast and gives without any reference, seven
shipwreck sites, some with the names of 1715 Fleet vessels. The Green Cabin site is listed as the San Martin;
Corrigan’s site as the San Roman; the Wedge Wreck as the Urca de Lima, etc. The Craig shipwreck list
does not list the Concepción, and there are no references in the book that explain how it was ascertained
that the sites bear correct names of particular vessels.

Another serious reference source is ‘Spanish Treasure Bars from New World Shipwrecks (Dr. Alan Craig
and Ernest J. Richards). Alan Craig is an academic, and recognized expert on Spanish Colonial
numismatics, as is Ernie Richards. In Chapter 9, Treasure Bars from the 1715 Plate Fleet, a retrospective
of silver bullion bars is pictured and described. The bullion bars are photographed and well described with
attributions to the ‘Rio Mar site’ and ‘Douglas Beach site’ but no cargo manifest information linking the
vernacular name of a site to a specific bullion bar – thus no diagnostic artifact that can link treasure to a
particular named ship.

Another source, AGI Consulados 855, provided by Eugene Lyon provides a list of ten vessels lost and a
partial list of those that perished in the fleet disaster. A list of these vessels is provided in the appendices at
the end of this paper. A vessel named the Concepción is included in this list and the notation that 130
persons were lost in the course of this shipwreck.

Wrecking Theory – The Melbourne Beach Scatter

In underwater archaeology, the term ‘wrecking theory’ denotes an archaeologist’s ability to survey a
shipwreck site, particularly a scattered site, and then explain how a particular vessel came to its end.
Wrecking theory may be utilized in the analysis of iron hull vessel wreckage from the ‘age of steam’ or
wooden hull vessel wreckage from the ‘age of sail.’ By examining the remains of a vessel lying on the
bottom largely intact, or the strewn and scattered remains of a vessel once the archaeologist documents a
ships scatter pattern, then the wrecking theory or model of how a vessel came to be lost may be analyzed
and documented.

The archaeologist credited with developing wrecking theory was the Scottish archaeologist, Keith
Muckelroy. In the Muckelroy model, information about the wrecking incident, from survivor accounts and
wreckage mapped on the bottom, is collected and then evaluated on an extended site plan. For example,
Carl Clausen developed a plan for the Douglas Beach shipwreck that he published in Galleons and provides
a valuable model to aid in site interpretation. This site plan shows two exposed limestone ledges with a
sandy area lying in between these raised ledges. The site covers approximately a thousand feet east to west
– offshore to nearshore – and within this area of approximately 1,000 feet, a ballast pile is shown lying
exposed and strewn over the sandy area and the nearshore limestone ledge. All across this site plan, Clausen
has mapped hundreds of artifactual finds, a large iron cannon and small ship artifacts that include cannon
balls, ships rigging, pottery, silver platters and silver coins.

The Muckelroy wrecking theory model examines the ship from the beginning of the wrecking incident to
the end of the wrecking incident when the wreckage achieves some semblance of stability. Muckelroy refers
to two primary processes that occur over the course of a shipwreck, these processes are named the
‘extraction process’ and the ‘scrambling process.’ For example, a 1715 vessel caught offshore in a hurricane
might jettison heavy objects like anchors or cannons, an example of the extraction process. The vessel might
start to break-up from the force of wind and waves; perhaps the stern-castle is detached and is carried away
from the structure of the vessel or perhaps the gun deck becomes separated from the hull — more extraction.

The force of wind would carry away ships rigging, sails and even ships masts; some material would sink
forming a scatter pattern and some would float away. There are any number of conceivable scenarios.

In the Carl Clausen-Douglas Beach scatter-model, we know that the 1715 vessels were caught off-shore in
the storm. As they were driven ashore the ship’s crew did all they could to navigate out into deeper water
to no avail. Analysis of the Douglas Beach site plan by Clausen shows that the concentration of shipwreck
material begins offshore, no doubt where the ship’s hull struck bottom, and artifact material started to
propagate on the bottom. This ‘extraction process’ continues from the offshore limestone ledge across an
open area of sand to another limestone ridge in relatively shallow water. Here the ballast pile was found,
largely intact and beneath this ballast pile the lower hull of the vessel would have been found. From this
point, lighter parts of the ship would have been extracted and washed ashore or even washed across the
barrier island to the lagoon separating the barrier island from the mainland.

It is known from witness information gleaned from the archives that after the storm individual vessels were
visible — lying in various stages of destruction in the near-shore area; in water that was shallow enough
for salvage to begin almost immediately. Over time these wooden shipwreck sites were reduced to ballast
piles through the combined action of wind and waves, and the scrambling process became accelerated. The
‘scrambling process’ in the Muckelroy wrecking model means that the artifacts have been extracted from
the shipwreck and are lying on the sea-floor or have floated away – extending the site. Over time these
artifacts, some heavy, some relatively light, will become buried or lie on the bottom exposed. If the artifacts
are iron they will begin to deteriorate. A gold bar or gold coins, if buffered in a protected position, would
be recovered in the same condition as when they were lost. Silver coins or metal alloy would develop a dark
oxidized color and have to undergo conservation to regain their original luster. Some silver coins in shallow
water that have been braised by current and wave action, especially in a semi-confined area like a crevice
in a limestone reef, could be ground down to what are referred to as a mere ‘sliver’ of their original
condition. Fragile items like porcelain tableware packed carefully in clay in boxes can often be recovered
nearly intact, however, terra cotta pottery and olive jars are usually reduced to shards.

What is important is that the extraction process removes the artifacts from a foundering vessel and then
exposes the loose artifact material to the scrambling process — the action of current, tide, and shallow water
wave action on often loose and fragile artifacts. Further, the scrambling process may be extended by the
process of artifacts extracted and then floating ashore on wooden debris or on deceased shipwreck victims.
Coins found on the beaches generally arrive on the beach and dune areas on wreckage or bodies and may
be recovered or lost during that process. Remember the coins on the beach near the Melbourne Beach site
and the coins that eventually led to the discovery of the 1715 shipwreck sites along the Treasure Coast? As
Clausen demonstrated with his model of the Douglas Beach site, the Muckelroy Model is a valuable tool in
shipwreck research and site plan interpretation. Coins on the beach may indicate that a shipwreck is nearby.

The Muckelroy Model and the Melbourne Beach Site

The question now needs to be asked – how does the Melbourne Beach site conform to the 1715 shipwreck
model? The Melbourne Beach site is a strewn area of both large and small shipwreck artifacts, anchors,
cannon, wood material and coins scattered over limestone hard bottom and open areas of sand from varying
points offshore to the present unstable and eroding shoreline.

At this point in the investigation, the area that lies approximately 1,200 feet offshore of Melbourne beach
demonstrates an ‘artifact strewn field’ similar to a 1715 shipwreck site. The largest artifact located to date
in this area is the nine-pounder iron cannon. In the Muckelroy Model the cannon arrived on site either within
the extraction process by being jettisoned or arrived via being transported on a portion of the wrecked
vessel, i.e., on the gun deck that sank to the bottom. When the wooden shipwreck material sank and
13
deteriorated, the cannon remained in situ (in its original place). As stated earlier, it appears that some hull
material is present on site as is possibly some of the ship’s rail material. The Monteros Platter and the
Ramirez Pistol were likely being transported in the stern-castle or cabin of one of the elite passengers (de
los Monteros). The fact that the valuable platters and the pistol were recovered at the site indicates strongly
that more valuable artifacts will eventually be located and excavated at Melbourne Beach.

Research in Spanish archives, in particular the Archivo General de Indias (AGI), in Seville, Spain, has
uncovered evidence that on February 4, 1715, a Don. Joseph de Espinosa de los Monteros consigned two
hundred and fifty-seven cow hides and a crate/box of “presents” (regalos) aboard the Santisima Trinidad y
Nuestra Señora de la Concepción, Captain Don Juan Antonio de Laviosa, docked in the port of Veracruz.
This particular ship, also simply known as la Concepción, was part of the Nueva España (New Spain) Fleet
under the command of General don Juan Estebán de Ubilla (AGI, Consulados, 854). The family name
Espinosa de los Monteros is not a common name and originates from a locality of the same name in
Cantabria and suggests a possible connection to Doña Juana Isabel de Cháves Espinosa de los Monteros
(DeBry 2010:20). Additionally, a set of manuscript documents located at the AGI in Seville, Spain (AGI,
Contratación, 668), refers to the enquiry and trial in 1711 of a captain by the name of Francisco de Cháves
Espinosa de los Monteros, owner of the Nuestra Señora del Rosario, San Francisco Xavier y las Animas.
The same ship, owner and captain don Francisco de Cháves Espinosa de los Monteros, was part of the
Nueva España Fleet of Captain General Juan de Ubilla that sailed from the port of Cádiz, Spain, on
September 16, 1712. The family name of this captain is the exact same as the one inscribed on the silver
charger found off the Melbourne Beach site and there is a possibility that Juana Isabel was the wife of
Francico de Cháves Espinosa de los Monteros. This points to a likely connection of the Melbourne Beach
site to the Nueva España Fleet of Ubilla. The archival researcher has expanded his search to the Cuban
National Archives in Havana.

Based on manuscript documents not related to the 1715 Plate Fleet but dealing with maritime traffic of the
period and collaboration between France and Spain during the 18th-century, Seafarer’s Quest ’s archival
researcher further expands his search to the Archives Nationales in Paris to investigate the possibility that
some manuscripts dealing with this event might be located in that repository. This research has been
ongoing and many manuscript documents pertaining to the 1715 Plate Fleet have been located, particularly
documents dealing with the French warship Griffon, the sole survivor of the 1715 Plate Fleet.

Prehistoric Overview
Paleoindian Period (12,000-10,000 B.P.)
Prehistoric native peoples entered Florida at least 12,000 years ago. While there is abundant archaeological
evidence for an early occupation of northern and central Florida (Milanich 1994), there is only limited
evidence for people inhabiting southeast Florida at this early period. Discoveries of human skeletal remains
near Vero Beach in 1915 and Melbourne in 1925 were presumed to be of early origin because of their
inferred association with extinct Pleistocene mammals (Gidley and Loomis 1926; Sellards 1916, 1917).
Analysis of the Vero Beach finds by Hrdlička (1918, 1922) concluded that the human remains were
intrusive into Pleistocene deposits. However, more recent analyses of the skeletal remains (Stewart 1946)
and a comparison of the geological context of those finds with similar discoveries in southwest Florida
(Cockrell and Murphy 1978), indicate that the original interpretations may have been correct. To date, the
Helen Blazes site (8BR27) is the only archaeological site in the immediate vicinity to be associated with
this time period. Due to changes in hydrology, (e.g., rising sea levels, increased rainfall and subsequent
increase in ground and artesian water) it is probable that Paleoindian Period settlement or activity areas
were close to, or adjacent to, water sources that may not exist or be accessible in a modern climate (e.g.,
inundated sites or lands that have been altered as a result of alluvial or aeolian deposition).

14
Early Archaic Period (10,000-7000 B.P.)
The beginning of the archaic period coincides with the onset of the Holocene at approximately 10,000 B.P.
This period can be divided into two horizons, based on differences in stone tool types: Side-Notched, or
Bolen (10,000-9000 B.P.) and Stemmed, or Kirk (9000-8000 B.P.). Both horizons are well represented in
northern and central Florida (Milanich 1994). The earliest firm evidence for human occupation in southeast
Florida dates to about 10,000-9500 B.P. At the Cutler site in Miami, side-notched stone projectile points,
called Bolen points, were recovered in association with animal bones and a hearth feature (Carr 1986).
Based on radiocarbon dates from a cultural stratum believed to be associated with the Bolen points, the
Cutler site is believed to date to around 9600 B.P. At this time, south Florida was just emerging from a
period that was much drier than at present (Brooks 1974; Gleason et al. 1974). Lake Okeechobee and the
Everglades did not exist; sea levels were considerably lower than at present; surface water was limited, and
extensive grasslands likely existed which may have attracted large grazing mammals. This bleak landscape
inhibited intensive human habitation except perhaps along the coast; however, any coastal sites are probably
now inundated by rising sea levels. By the Early Archaic period, or the time that the Cutler site was
occupied, precipitation had begun to increase in frequency and duration, resulting in an increase in surface
water. In addition, sea levels were rising which inundated formerly dry land off shore. The large Pleistocene
mammals became extinct and native peoples in southeast Florida adapted their lifestyles to the hunting and
gathering of more modern species. The Kirk Horizon is not well represented on the lower east coast,
although the mortuary pond at Windover in Brevard County may contain a Kirk component. Radiocarbon
dates associated with human bone or wooden artifacts range from 8120 ± 70 B.P. to 6980 ± 80 B.P. (Doran
2002), placing it at the terminal end of the Kirk Horizon as it has been defined throughout the wider
southeastern United States (Chapman 1985; Sherwood et al. 2004). Three possible Kirk Stemmed projectile
points were associated with the burials. The Windover site provides some of the most important information
documenting Early Archaic burial practices and associated non-lithic material culture. Windover is a
wetland cemetery, that when excavated, revealed the remains of 168 individuals along with numerous
perishable items such as bone pins, awls, incised tubes, shell tools and beads, an antler weight, wooden
stakes, cordage, mats, and fabric. The radiocarbon dates indicate that the interments were made over a long
period of time and suggest that the pond was used repeatedly for interments for more than a millennium.
The high degree of preservation of the bodies, and the lack of any evidence for scavenging of the remains
by animals, suggests that they were placed in the cemetery within a few days or even hours after death
(Dickel 2002). The interments were apparently placed in five or six discrete groups within the pond, and
individual clusters may have been marked by wooden stakes (Dickel 2002:80). The presence of marine
shells at the site would seem to support the hypothesis that these people migrated inland from the coast,
which at this time was further to the east than at present and certainly extended their hunter-gatherer
substance model. Analysis of botanical remains from the site indicate occupation during the late summer-
early fall (Newsom 2002:208; Tuross et al. 1994:297-298).

Middle Archaic Period (7000-5000 B.P.)

A dramatic increase in precipitation and associated runoff in the south Florida peninsula is indicated by peat
deposits in the Everglades region that began to form about 6000-5000 BP (McDowell et al. 1969). This
enabled native peoples to expand their habitation into formerly inhospitable locations. Sea levels reached a
considerable higher (modern level) or perhaps higher during anomalies of climate and may have exceeded
them for short periods (Dorsey 1997; Tanner 1991). Modern estuaries began to form and exploitation of
coastal resources began in earnest, particularly along the northern Atlantic coast (Ste. Claire 1990). The
expansion of populations into new locations resulted in a variety of settlement and subsistence strategies,
each adapted to local conditions. Sedentary settlements were established along productive rivers, such as
the St. Johns, or in coastal areas in southwest and northeast Florida (e.g., Russo 1991; Ste. Claire 1990). In
other areas, a more mobile lifestyle was practiced (Austin 1996, 1997).

15
Other research questions continue to be pursued. In the lower Florida peninsula sea level rise is indicated
by the deposition of coastal marsh mud in the Indian River lagoon at approximately 6000-5000 B.P. (Bader
and Parkinson 1990). Yet there is limited archaeological evidence for Middle Archaic occupation of
southeast Florida. Pre-ceramic Archaic sites have been documented in the interior around Lake Okeechobee
(Gleason and Stone 1994; Hale 1989:48, 55-56), and one documented Middle Archaic site has been
identified at the Westridge site on Pine Island Ridge in Broward County (Carr et al. 1992). The Gauthier
site in Brevard County contains a Middle Archaic cemetery (Carr and Jones 1981; Sigler-Eisenberg 1984).
The scarcity of Middle Archaic sites in southeast Florida may be due, in part, to the use of perishable raw
material and concomitant poor preservation in the archaeological record. The dependence on perishable
materials for much of the material culture of archaic peoples is reflected by the abundance of organic
artifacts recovered from Windover Pond and the near absence of lithic artifacts (Dickel 2002).

Late Archaic Period (5000-2500 B.P.)

By 5000 B.P. the Florida peninsula had reached an essentially modern configuration. This allowed further
regionalization of cultures throughout Florida, as individual societies developed increasingly sophisticated
adaptations to their local environments (Milanich 1994). During the Late Archaic period, the first pottery
was made by the native peoples of Florida. In southern Florida, two separate late Archaic cultures can be
identified archaeologically: The Orange culture and the Glades Archaic culture. The Orange culture is
known primarily from northeast Florida, including both the Atlantic coast and the St. Johns River drainage
basin. The Orange peoples made a distinctive pottery tempered with fiber. Other artifacts include whelk
shell (Busycon spp.) adzes and conch shell celts (Strombus spp.). It is likely that the Busycon adzes found
in northeast Florida at this time were of local origin, while the Strombus celts were traded into the area from
southeastern Florida (Wheeler 1992). Site types are generally oyster and coquina shell middens along the
coast and freshwater pond snail middens along the inland rivers and streams. Some coastal shell rings also
have been observed (Newman and Weisman 1992). Recent work in St. Lucie County provides evidence of
a Late Archaic culture in this region. At the Ten Mile Creek project area, four sites (8SL0007, 8SL1180,
8SL1181, 8SL1182) that have fiber tempered or fiber/mixed pottery indicative of a Late Archaic component
were identified (New South Associates 2003). In Martin County, Orange populations were present and were
almost exclusively coastal (Carr et al. 1995). Only semi-fiber-tempered shards were recovered from the Mt.
Elizabeth site (8MT30), and Orange populations may have migrated to that area from the Indian River
estuary farther north. The Joseph Reed shell ring (8MT13) on Jupiter Island may represent something of an
anomaly as it is Late Archaic in age but possesses a ceramic assemblage characterized by spiculate and
sand tempered pastes. Although the Joseph Reed site has been damaged by storm surges, it was once
probably a constructed ring made up predominately of oyster shell. In this respect, it seems quite similar to
other Orange period shell rings located farther north (Newman and Weisman 1992). Pepe (Carr et al. 1995)
suggests that a separate Late Archaic culture, which he refers to as the “Glades Archaic,” was also present
in southern Florida, and probably had only limited ties to the Orange culture (Carr et al. 1995). The presence
of this culture is suggested by non-ceramic bone middens now recognized as typical on nearly every interior
tree island or former tree island in southern Florida (e.g., Carr and Steele 1993; Ehrenhard et al. 1978, 1979,
1980). Several of these type sites have also been identified in the Loxahatchee Slough and the Allapatah
Flats of Martin and Palm Beach Counties (Carr et al. 1995). Faunal remains from these sites are mainly
freshwater species, such as turtle, fish, and pond apple snail, which were plentiful in the surrounding
marshes.

Post-Archaic Period (2500-500 B.P.)

By 2500 B.P., regional adaptations had become so well established that it is possible for archaeologists to
subdivide the state by geographic areas that share similar archaeological traits. The Palmer PUD project
area is located near the interface of what has been termed the Indian River region of the East and Central
Lakes District (Rouse 1951; Milanich 1994); the East Okeechobee Culture area has been further described
by (Carr and Beriault 1984). More precisely, the Indian River region extends from the Indian River-St.
16
Lucie county line northward along the Atlantic coast to Merritt Island in Brevard County. The western
boundary extends approximately 20 miles inland to the St. Johns River drainage and tributaries. Rouse
(1951) referred to the regional culture as Malabar and this term is still used in some reports (e.g., Sigler-
Eisenberg 1985).

Irving Rouse (1951) was the first archaeologist to describe the archaeological cultures in the Indian River
area, referring to them as the Malabar Culture. His chronology paralleled that of the St. Johns Region with
St. Johns Check Stamped pottery indicating the break between Malabar I and Malabar II. However, there
also are significant amounts of sand-tempered pottery in the Indian River area and, instead of indicating
influence from adjacent culture areas, at least some of this sand-tempered pottery appears to have been
made from the same local clays as the St. Johns wares (Espenshade 1983). Cordell’s (1985) analysis of
pottery from several sites in Brevard County resulted in the ceramic sequence shown in Table 2 and the
sequence appears to hold for other portions of the Indian River region as well (Milanich 1994:250). The
dates assigned to these periods are estimates and have been extrapolated from Milanich’s chronology for
the entire East and Central Lakes District (Milanich 1994:247). Cordell takes Rouse’s original Malabar I
Period and divides it into three sub periods based on changes in ceramic frequencies. Early Period I (ca.
2500-2000 B.P.) is recognized by the introduction of non-fiber-tempered wares to the ceramic assemblages
of local native peoples. St. Johns Plain dominates these early components, but sand-tempered plain also is
present in small amounts. Middle Period I (ca. 2000-1500 B.P.) is distinguished by a substantial increase
of sand-tempered plain ceramics in middens, a decrease in the proportion of St. Johns Plain, and the
introduction (albeit in very small quantities) of Belle Glade Plain at some sites. Late Period 1 (ca. 1500-
1250 B.P.) is marked by the return to dominance of St. Johns Plain and the corresponding decrease of sand-
tempered plain pottery. There also is a slight increase in the amount of Belle Glade Plain. The appearance
of St. Johns Check Stamped pottery is the marker for Period II (ca. 1250-500 B.P.). It, along with St. Johns
Plain, is the major pottery type during this period. Sand- Tempered Plain comprises about 10% of most
assemblages and Belle Glade Plain remains a minority ware.

Both interior, inland sites and coastal sites are well known and documented in the Indian River region. Site
types in the interior include small, special use campsites and larger, multi-component sites that possess
extensive midden deposits and were probably utilized as permanent or semi-permanent habitation sites.
Russo’s (1986, 1988) analysis of faunal remains from interior sites indicates a dependence on aquatic
resources (turtle, ducks, fish, and fresh water mussels). Throughout the post-Archaic period, wetland
resources expanded and water sources became deeper providing suitable habitats for more and larger fish,
such as bass and pickerel. However, during the dry months of the year (winter and spring), these water
sources shrank providing habitat for fish species that favor shallow, muddy bottomed ponds, such as bowfin
and gar. Terrestrial animals (deer, raccoon, and rabbit) also were exploited, but the emphasis was clearly
on acquiring most of the diet from freshwater wetlands. Coastal sites were once present in many locations
along the Indian River lagoon, the adjacent uplands, and on the barrier islands. Modern development has
destroyed many of these sites, but a few have been investigated and provide important data on costal
adaptations. At present, it appears that the coast was utilized seasonally during the winter and spring months
of the year when interior wetland sites were less accessible due to high water. The data indicate that some
sites were small, extractive sites occupied by only a few individuals while other, larger sites served as
habitations sites. Marine fish, shellfish (especially coquina), and some terrestrial animals were exploited
for food (Milanich 1994:252-253). What is unknown at present is how the coastal and interior sites relate
to one another. For example, it is not clear whether the same people occupied both locations during different
parts of the year or whether different groups occupied each area year-round.

Contact Period
In the Indian River region, the historic period (referred to as Period III) is marked by the presence of
European goods in otherwise native assemblages. The St. Johns ceramic series remains the dominant native
pottery. The native groups encountered by Europeans at this time on the Atlantic coast were the Ais natives
who dominated the south-central Atlantic coast. The Ais appear to have been an independent tribe, but large
amounts of St. Johns pottery and other artifacts from the Indian River and St. Johns areas during this time
suggests that their cultural influences may have come from the north instead. Jonathan Dickinson
(Reformation shipwreck, 1689) also observed that the Jeaga were forced to relinquish shipwrecked cargo
to the Ais, their neighbors to the north (Andrews 1985). European contact marked the beginning of the end
for the native populations throughout Florida. It has been estimated that there were about 20,000 natives in
southern Florida when the Spanish arrived (Milanich and Fairbanks 1980). By 1763, when the English
gained control of Florida, the population had been reduced to perhaps several hundred. These tribal
remnants were reported to have migrated to Cuba with the Spanish (Romans 1775). However, it is likely
that the “Spanish Indians” who raided Indian Key in 1840 were the mixed-blood descendants of the Calusa,
and/or refugees from the northern Florida missions that were raided by the English in the early 18th century
(Sturtevant 1953). These Spanish-Indians became part of the Seminoles, who had fled into southern Florida
after the 1838 Battle of Okeechobee.

Historic Overview
Early Spanish Exploration
For nearly half a century, ships of various nations have passed through the coastal waters of what is now
Brevard County. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the region served as an important venue for
many early European expeditions in North America. Some historians believe that the Italian captain, John
Cabot, sailed south along the Brevard coast during his 1498 explorations (Dovell 1952; Eriksen 1994).
There is also evidence that Spanish slave traders raided the indigenous villages of the coast. Ponce de Leon
departed Puerto Rico on March 3, 1513, with three ships. After sailing on a northwesterly course for 30
days, the ships landed either north of Cape Canaveral (Milanich 1995) or in the vicinity of modern-day

18
Melbourne Beach (Eriksen 1994; Gannon 1996). The Cape is emphasized on many sixteenth century maps
and is one of the oldest place names in North America (Eriksen 1994). Ponce remained at this initial landing
place for six days before sailing south to reconnoiter the remainder of the peninsula (Gannon 1996; Milanich
1995). The Gulf Stream, flowing northward off the Brevard coast, was an important thoroughfare for the
transportation of New World supplies to Europe. Old World powers engaged in a bitter struggle to control
the off-shore waters. Spanish treasure galleons rode the current from Havana through the Bahama Channel,
along the Atlantic coast of Florida in route to Spain. As a by-product of this transportation system
shipwrecks were common on the treacherous shoals around Cape Canaveral and the local native tribe, the
Ais, often recovered lost cargoes.

The Spanish crown realized the importance of this trade route, so when they learned that the French were
developing a colony, Fort Caroline, on the St. Johns River near Jacksonville they decided to act. In 1565,
Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, the Spanish Governor of La Florida was ordered to eradicate the French
influence in the area (Milanich 1995). By the time the Spanish ships arrived at the site of present St.
Augustine, the French had already built a wooden fort on the south bank of the St. Johns River (present-
day Jacksonville). A fleet of ships had recently arrived from France, transporting, weapons, supplies, tools,
soldiers and would-be colonists. The Spanish attacked Fort Caroline over an overland route and
overwhelmed the French garrison. At that time a storm struck the area and the French fleet escaped south
to the Cape Canaveral area where the majority of the vessels were lost. Many of the French landed at the
Cape and others made their way south along the coast on foot. Eventually the Spanish caught the French
near present Matanzas Inlet south of St. Augustine where the French Huguenots were put to the sword
(Lyon 1974:113-124). The expedition to Cape Canaveral was a decisive victory for the Spanish and
expanded their knowledge of the region that later became Brevard County (Eriksen 1994; Milanich 1995).

In 1605, the Spanish sent a delegation under the command of Alvaro Mexia to the Brevard area. The
diplomat was charged with placating the aggressive Ais natives and mapping the region. His mission has
been considered a success. Mexia explored the Indian and Banana River area (which the Spanish called the
Rio de Ais as well as the Ulumay Lagoon located at the north end of the Banana River. While these
developments were significant, they did not encourage the Spanish to sponsor further settlement of Florida.

The waters along the eastern coast of Florida continued to present dangers to sailing vessels in the eighteenth
century. On July 24, 1715, a flotilla of eleven Spanish ships carrying 14 million pesos in gold, silver, and
jewels left Havana for Europe. A few days into the voyage, on 31 July 1715, eleven ships wrecked along
the East Florida coast between St. Lucie County and St. Johns County. Approximately 700 sailors perished
and an additional 1500 became castaways. The Ais aided the Spaniards by providing them with supplies
and instructions for gathering food in the dunes. The Spanish government, desperate to recover the lost
treasure, established an encampment of salvors in the vicinity of present-day Sebastian State Park. Salvors
recovered only one-third of the lost cargo. In the mid-twentieth century, treasure hunters made a concerted
effort to recover additional treasure and artifact material (Burgess and Clausen 1982; Eriksen 1994).

The British Period and the Second Spanish Period

Through much of the eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries, non-native- people possessed a poor
understanding of Brevard County which was then known as the Mosquito Coast. When the British came
under control of Florida after the Seven Years War concluded in 1763, new explorations occurred (Figure
5). The botanist John Bartram and his son William documented the region in the course of their search for
the headwaters of the St. Johns River (Eriksen 1994; Tebeau 1971). Their reports, which depicted a
sprawling wilderness full of alligators and Indians, inspired no new attempts to settle the area. In 1783, the
Treaty of Paris restored Florida to Spain, whose control of the territory was tenuous over the following
decades (Tebeau 1971). Immigrants from the Indian tribes north of Florida had replaced those who had
succumbed to European diseases and warfare. Zespedes, the Spanish Governor, wrote to the king in 1785
19
that isolated groups of Americans were migrating into Florida (Eriksen 1994; Tebeau 1971). The Crown
may have viewed themselves as the ruler of Florida, but in truth their position in the peninsula was
dependent upon an alliance with local Indian tribes which held a much greater influence on affairs (Frank
2005).

The Territorial Period

Even after the American acquisition of Florida in 1821, the Mosquito Coast was the realm of the native
Indians. Seeking to establish a boundary between white settlement and Indian Territory, the Americans
designated four million acres of the interior of Florida as a reservation for the Seminoles. This area included
the southwestern corner of modern-day Brevard County (Mahon 1985). Two counties, Escambia to the west
and St. Johns to the east, were also formed. In 1824, the area encompassing most of east-central Florida
including Brevard County was organized as Mosquito County. Colonel James Gadsen led a survey party
through the eastern portion of the county in 1825 to find a route for a road from St. Augustine to what is
now Dade County. Several dozen plantations, some of which were holdovers from the previous Spanish
period were encountered along the Indian River. The majority of new settlement in Florida remained
situated on the northern part of the state with the exception of Key West (Eriksen 1994; Fernald and Purdum
1992).

Increasing tensions between American settlers and the Seminoles erupted into the Second Seminole War.
Mosquito County became a prominent theater in this conflict. On Christmas day 1835, Indian forces raided
plantations in the area. Along with a severe freeze in 1835, the war decimated Mosquito County’s
population as they fled to safe havens in north Florida (Shofner 1995:36). The military erected forts
throughout the Brevard area. Troops under the command of General Joseph Hernandez constructed Fort
Ann a mile south of modern day Haulover Canal. Camp Hernandez was erected south of present day
Scottsmoor in northern Brevard. General Hernandez collected his troops at the camps on January 3, 1838
and proceeded to advance south along the eastern coast. Their path followed the high ground along the
western side of the Indian River Lagoon before swinging west to meet Fort Taylor on Lake Winder then
southeast paralleling what is now I-95. Of all the military trails created in Brevard, this is the only one
historians are able to pinpoint accurately (Eriksen 1994:38-39). Naval forces were utilized during the
Second Seminole War, but there appears to have been no sizable expeditions along the coast of today’s
Brevard County. The war ended in 1842, and on March 14, 1844, Saint Lucie County (whose name soon
changed to Brevard County) was carved out of Mosquito County (Carter 1962:994-995;
Dunn 1998:34).

Statehood and the Civil War

On March 3, 1845, Florida became the 27th state admitted to the Union (Eriksen 1994). As in centuries
before, the coastal waters of eastern Florida remained treacherous. The state therefore erected a lighthouse
on Cape Canaveral in 1848 (Wooley 2002:9-10). During this period, development of St. Lucie County was
hindered because of the lack of adequate roads in the region. The Indian River, which was more of an
elongated lagoon, served as the primary means of transportation (Shofner 1995:63-64). Hoping that a new
name might invite wider interest in the region, Saint Lucie County was renamed Brevard in 1855. Its
namesake was Judge Theodore Washington Brevard who had been state comptroller of Florida. The new
county encompassed more than 7000 square miles and had its seat of government at Fort Pierce, although
most simply referred to it by the name - Indian River (Eriksen 1994; Shofner 1995:62). John Houston
established the first permanent U.S. settlement in south Brevard County, Arlington, in 1854. This town was
located on land fronting the Indian River and Elbow Creek (Eriksen 1994). Between 1850 and 1860, the
population of Brevard County doubled although there were still only 267 people residing in the area. Most
were cattlemen and subsistence farmers (Shofner 1995:65). The Civil War began another chapter of intrigue
along the Coast of Brevard County as blockade runners attempted to transport goods in and out of
Confederate Florida. They received no help from the Cape Canaveral lighthouse which, along with other
20
lights, was ordered to be extinguished early in the war. The keeper at Canaveral, Mills Burnham, was a
Union sympathizer. Fearing that the lamp and other mechanisms might be apprehended by Confederates,
he ‘boxed’ them up and buried them in his orange grove. Union vessels patrolled the waters along Brevard
County throughout the Civil War. From New Smyrna (Volusia County) southward, approximately 32
blockade-running vessels were captured between 1862 and 1865 (Shofner 1995:70). Aside from the
occasional blockade runners, Brevard County was far removed from the action of the war but still played a
visible role in the war as a supplier of beef to Confederate troops. The Confederate government estimated
that three fourths of the cattle from Florida—which had become the main supply of beef for the
Confederacy—was from Brevard and Manatee Counties. Settlers in Brevard also engaged in salt production
for the Confederate Army (Shofner 1995:72).

The Late Nineteenth Century

Brevard County remained one of Florida’s least populated counties in the decades following the Civil War.
The region was far removed from the growing centers of population in the state and overland transportation
routes were still poorly developed. In the years before the arrival of the railroad, water transportation was
the dominant mode of travel in Brevard County (Brown 1991:13-14) (Figure 6). Until the railroad arrived
in the 1880s, the Indian River was the primary corridor of transportation into the region. “Those were the
days when a man’s approach and arrival were heralded by the cut and rig of his sail,” wrote one historian
(Nance 1962:258-259). Nevertheless, there were individuals who saw opportunity in this frontier.
Titusville, once a small cluster of settlers, became more prominent in the 1870s when citizens elected it as
the permanent seat of government. By the 1880s, steamships were traveling the Indian River with regularity
(Nance 1962:258-259). They hauled lumber in and agricultural products out of the region in the years before
the railroad (Eriksen 1994:95-96). The population of the Indian River area was expanding due to a solid
economic base of agriculture and fishing (Eriksen 1994). In addition to these stable sources of income, the
occasional shipwreck offered a bonus of sorts. Following the wreck of the steamer Ladona in 1870, the
coastal residents of Brevard gathered the lost cargo which consisted of French shoes (Wooley 2002:9-10).
Many of the early settlers acquired lumber by collecting driftwood and other goods from shipwrecks (Nance
1962:257-258). Other wrecks offered cloth and consumer goods (Wooley 2002:9-10).

Table 1 Brevard County Population

Despite the popularity of oceanfront living in the current day, settlers to Brevard County in the late 19th
century were most interested in settling the inland areas. Settlement in this era was situated around the
Indian River. In 1880, Melbourne, founded by Richard W. Goode, obtained a post office that served to
facilitate area growth. Titusville was chosen as a stop on the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West Railway
in 1885. Columbus Willard established Cocoa in 1882 and by 1887 the town had six stores and was quickly
expanding around its deep-water landing. In 1890, a group of wealthy Harvard graduates founded the
18,000-acre Canaveral Club, which is now the Merritt Island National Wildlife Preserve. In 1893, the
21
Flagler East Coast Railway line came to Titusville and Eau Gallie. In 1895 devastating freeze ruined the
area’s citrus industry, that only slowly recovered by the turn of the century. In 1899, with the aid of a new
state road building fund, Brevard County began an important road building campaign. During this project
many Indian shell middens and mounds were borrowed for shell that was then crushed and hard packed
over palmetto fiber. As the turn of the century approached, Brevard County had a population of 5,158
people, a new road system, and 35 public schools (Eriksen 1994).

Extensive as the Brevard County coastline was, an ocean port failed to develop until the 20 th century. The
primary reason was geography, as there were no navigable inlets that connected the sea with the north-south
Indian River. In the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, attempts were made to connect the two
(Eriksen 1994:132, 155). By the late 1910s the Sebastian Inlet was somewhat navigable although it had to
be periodically dredged. County residents petitioned for a harbor at Cape Canaveral but their plea went
unfulfilled (Eriksen 1994:156-160).

The Twentieth Century

Brevard County was in the midst of a massive program of internal improvements during the first twenty
years of the new century. Municipal governments constructed water towers, sewage lines, and new roads.
The county purchased a large trenching machine in 1911 and began to drain the floodplain east of the St.
Johns to open land for new development. The Dixie Highway route of 1915 brought an infusion of tourists
to the area. In 1917, Brevard achieved its modern-day dimension when the southern portions of the county
became St. Lucie and Okeechobee counties and the western portion Osceola County (Fernald and Purdum
1992). The center of population in the county shifted from Titusville in the north to Eau Gallie, Cocoa, and
Melbourne in the south. In 1920, 1445 people lived in Cocoa, 1361 people resided in Titusville, and 533
people called Melbourne home (Table 2). A bridge constructed from Cocoa to Merritt Island opened a link
to the many small communities on the coast. Another toll bridge from Melbourne to Merritt Island followed
four years later and by the mid-twenties four bridges spanned the river. New developments sprouted up
along the beaches as result of these bridges (Eriksen 1994). Canova Beach was one such development.
Around 1923, Carlos Canova of Eau Gallie aspired to establish a marine biology laboratory on his ocean-
front property. After the completion of the bridge from Eau Gallie to the beach, he abandoned those plans
and opened Canova Beach which consisted of a hotel, fishing pier, and casino (Shofner 1996:40, 47) (Figure
7). Canova intended his resort to be quiet, non-alcoholic, and rustic (Kjerulff 1972:97). After the Eighteenth
Amendment prohibited alcohol sales, the inlets along the Indian River once again became venues for
smugglers. The Chicago gangster Al Capone coordinated rum running from the Bahamas to Florida at a
small hideaway in Eau Gallie (Eriksen 1994). Also well-known was Captain William H. McCoy, a former
steamboat captain from Eau Gallie. The expression “the real McCoy” originated during this period as a
reference to the quality of his products (Eriksen 1994:164, 169-170). After the Stock Market crash of 1929,
the numbers of tourists visiting Brevard dramatically waned. This decline crippled the economy and
bankrupted the government. The area received aid from the Civil Works Administration (CWA) which
employed 800 people from December 1933 to March 1934 to repair roads, build schools, and excavate
Indian mounds. In 1935, the Works Progress Administration replaced the CWA. This agency constructed
the Canaveral port and the Melbourne airport and dredged the Intracoastal Waterway from Cumberland
Sound in Georgia to Miami in 1936. As World War II approached in 1939, the military chose land south of
Cocoa Beach to build the Banana River Naval Air Station (Eriksen 1994). Shortly after the Japanese attack
on Pearl Harbor in 1941, German submarines became active off the coast of Florida. They sunk several
tankers and cargo ships early in the war. “Brevard’s coastline was soon littered with the wreckage of the
commercial ships, and crewmen from sunken ships were rescued from the Atlantic or were found exhausted
on the beaches,” wrote one historian (Eriksen 1994). On one exceptionally active day, three merchant ships
were torpedoed off of Cape Canaveral (Stone 1988:52). After the completion of the Banana River and
Melbourne airbases in 1942, shipping lanes were patrolled by naval aircraft. Later in that year, beach patrols
were established to monitor the horizon and blackouts were initiated at inland communities as a preventative
22
measure against attacks. By the end of the war, German submarines had torpedoed 25 ships between Miami
and Daytona Beach (Eriksen 1994:194-196). In 1949, the U.S. Air Force developed a long-range missile
testing ground at the former Banana River Air Station. The base was renamed Patrick Air Force Base in
1950 and was the sight of experimental launches of hybrid rockets. The National Aeronautics and Space
Administration began operations on the Cape in 1958 and in 1963 the agency received 88,000 acres on
Merritt Island on which to build the Kennedy Space Center. A complex of more than 50 buildings was
constructed on the island including the largest building in the world, a 52-story rocket assembly hangar.
The space industry had a drastic effect on the area. Brevard County grew by 371 percent from 1950 to 1960
and the population doubled again during the 1960’s (Tebeau 1971).

Brevard County Historic Shipwrecks

There has been documented maritime activity in Brevard County since the early 16th century. Since that
time, there have been thousands of shipwrecks along the Florida coast and Brevard. Brevard County’s
maritime history is evident in the waters along Melbourne Beach and Indialantic. Bob Gross, historian at
the Florida Historical Society and a longtime resident of Brevard County, shared information about
shipwrecks in this area. Gross’ knowledge comes from personal experiences as well as extensive research
on the subject in local newspapers. Gross knew of two possible wrecks in the vicinity of the current project
area. The first was a Spanish wreck that dated to the early to mid-eighteenth century and the second was
the 1928 wreck of a ship called the Orca (Gross, personal communication, 2006; 2010). Gross reported that
artifacts of Spanish origin have been found on the shore and in the water along Melbourne Beach, in the
vicinity of Spessard Holland Park, as well as Melbourne Beach, and Canova Beach, Indialantic, in the
1960s. During that decade, Gross (who was then a boy) knew an individual, now deceased, who had a box
of Spanish artifacts that he had collected at Canova Beach. The Gross description of the location of these
various recoveries of Spanish artifacts coincide with the general location of the current project area
(Spessard Holland Park, Melbourne Beach and Canova Beach). He speculated that the wreck dated to no
later than the first half of the eighteenth century based on what he described as a “Pillar Dollar” found near
the old pier at Canova Beach. Gross also remembers seeing a salvage boat working off Spessard Holland
Park back in the early 1960s (Gross, personal communication, 22 December 2010). Newspaper reports from
December 1928 described the wreck of the cruiser Orca along Canova Beach. The wreck occurred on the
evening of December 5 after an engine malfunction set the ship afire. The crew of five attempted to fight
the blaze with fire extinguishers but they were unsuccessful. They ignited rescue flares and then abandoned
ship. In the meantime, keepers of the Cape Canaveral lighthouse and observers along Canova Beach had
noticed the flares from the sinking ship. The lighthouse keeper telephoned a local fisherman who hurried
to the scene as residents of Canova Beach notified the chief of police. The fisherman rescued one survivor
from the water. Another survivor appeared on the beach near Melbourne sometime thereafter. In the
meantime, the chief of police at Melbourne had requested aid from the Coast Guard base in Fort Lauderdale.
Five patrol boats were ordered to Canova Beach. Despite the efforts of the fisherman and the Coast Guard,
the three remaining sailors were not found alive. The body of one of them later washed ashore near
Melbourne. The other two were never recovered (New York Times 6 December 1928; Cocoa Tribune 13
December 1928). Newspaper accounts do not describe what the vessel was transporting. Nor do they
describe the ship’s port or origin or its destination. Records of the Fort Lauderdale Coast Guard base are
not available. Local histories do not provide specific information on wrecks in the Canova Beach area or
the Melbourne Beach area. Existing accounts indicate that the wreck of the Orca occurred along Canova
Beach. The Florida Star described that the wreck was a “short distance off shore between Eau Gallie and
Melbourne.” The New York Times was more specific, noting that the ship was located “five miles off
Canova Beach.” Also, the latter account mentions that residents at Canova Beach were able to see the flare
signals sent up by the crew of the Orca (New York Times 6 December 1928; Cocoa Tribune 13 December
1928). Finally, an entry in the 1929 volume of Merchant Vessels of the United States (MVUS) lists the
Orca as lost by fire on December 6, 1928 (United Stated Department of Commerce [USDC] 1929). It should
23
be noted that newspaper accounts referred to the ship as the Oraca while the MVUS source refer to the ship
as the Orca. Regardless of spelling, the records refer to the same ship. While further information on the
actual wreck of the cruiser Orca and its crew has not been found, other details relating to the vessel are
available in the Merchant Vessels of the United States volumes from the period. This information tells that
the Orca was built in Neponset, Massachusetts, in 1917 as a 260-horsepower gas yacht. The Orca was based
out of New York City during the first half of the 1920s. After 1926, the Orca is described as a fishing vessel.
In the years immediately preceding its demise along Canova Beach, the vessel had undergone improvements
that raised its horsepower to over 450. This alteration coincides with its transfer of ownership from Robert
W. Thompson of Edgewater, New Jersey to John Little of Jacksonville, Florida. When the Orca was lost in
1928, the owner was A.C. Hardy. Information on the various owners of the Orca over time is minimal. Of
Robert W. Thompson (the owner as of 1926) and John Little (the owner as of 1927), nothing has been
discovered in census records and national newspapers of the era as well as Jacksonville local histories and
business directories. However, information has been found on A.C. Hardy who appears to have been fairly
prominent in the realm of marine engineering. He was an editor of volumes on the subject and a member
of the Institute of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (New York Times 20 November 1927). During
the 1920s and later, his opinion was sought on a number of issues dealing with marine architecture (New
York Times 17 January 1928; New York Times 30 January 1928). Although the likelihood seems high that
this A.C. Hardy was the same individual “of Jacksonville, Florida” who is listed as the owner of the Orca
in the USDC source from 1929, no document discovered during the course of this research has indicated
with certainty that they are the same individual. Harry Goode, Mayor of Melbourne, a lifelong resident of
that city, also remembers hearing of Spanish artifacts being found around Spessard Holland Park as well as
north and south of that location; he also knows that old iron cannon was salvaged along that coast and
melted down during WW II (Harry Goode, personal communication 2003).

Research Goals and Objectives

Project Goal
This phase of the investigation will further define the elements of the shipwreck site and recover significant
information about the nature of the ship and its contents and cargo.

Project Objective
A phased investigation will better define the nature of the ship wreck or ship wrecks and provide more
detailed information for the management of the shipwreck site(s) and possible archaeological recovery at
some future date. These phases as outlined in our permit.

Phase l: To conduct remote sensing, cesium magnetometer survey of the permit area in an effort to locate
anomalies that may potentially be associated with the historic shipwreck as described above.
This phase has been completed, however, if Seafarers Quest should decide that further remote sensing
surveys are necessary, these more limited and targeted surveys may be conducted while work on the other
phases is going forward.

Phase 2: To identify and ground truth such anomalies as may be required, using least invasive techniques
appropriate to local bottom conditions, with an emphasis on those anomalies deemed most likely to
potentially be associated with the historic shipwreck as described in the permit application. (Phase l and 2
may be conducted concurrently.)

Of the remaining anomalies and/or anomaly clusters as selected for ground-truthing by the permittee have
and will be prioritized for further investigation at this time and during the term of this permit.
After notice to and consultation with the Division, additional anomalies and/or anomaly clusters may be
added for investigation by the permittee during the term of this permit, at a future date.

Phase 3: If such anomalies or other artifacts are discovered as may be associated with shipwreck remains,
then in consultation with the Division recoveries may be undertaken to allow more thorough identification
of shipwreck remains.

Phase 4: If such anomalies are located that cannot be sufficiently identified because of concealing layers of
overburden the permittee may conduct limited excavations for the purpose of identification of said
anomalies.

27
All investigations and/or recoveries will be reported in monthly field reports interim reports and year end
reports and turned into the Division as provided by the permit.

All discoveries will be documented in situ, and consultations with the Division undertaken to determine if
recoveries are warranted. If recoveries are made, Seafarers Quest has arrangements with, Florida Institute
of Technology, Department of Ocean of Engineering and Sciences to utilize the conservation facilities and
services of that organization.

Field Objectives
• Maintain a high degree of context control for the recovery by re-locating and re-establishing the survey
grid at the site.

• Define and record all surviving hull architecture and fittings in the investigation area in order to determine
vessel form and type.

• Determine the distribution of cargo and shipboard functions by conducting systematic investigation of
grid blocks or swing circles (as defined) along any existing cargo scatter or along any remaining hull
material or structure.

• Further characterize site internal structure by completing investigation along the keel, or on either side of
the keel, linking the apparent bow, amidships and stern areas as time and budget permit.

General Research Questions

Taking into consideration the artifact scatter discovered off Melbourne Beach that consisted of an iron
cannon, pewter plates, a flintlock pistol and wood material the investigators will endeavor to ascertain what
type of colonial period sailing vessel was lost within the permit area. Since the first submission of this
document a research paper (Baer 2017) was submitted to Dr. Mary Glowacki at DHR that identifies the
above artifacts as those from a missing 1715 shipwreck named the Concepcion.

Specific Research Questions

Why did the vessel sink?

When precisely did the vessel sink?

What was the name of the vessel?

What was the origin and destination of the vessel?

Were any lives lost during the sinking and are the remains of seamen and passengers still at the wreck site?

What was the precise nature of the cargo?

How was the vessel cargo hold loaded?

Was the vessel salvaged in part after the sinking by Lewes residents and others?

What do the vessel and its cargo tell us about political, social and economic life in Spain and its New World
colonies?
28
What does the vessel reveal about regional and coastal trade and its link with the wider Atlantic world?

Methods

To answer the research questions above and to meet the stated goals and objectives a sampling strategy has
been developed based on previous research conducted on the site.

Additional Remote Sensing Survey (As needed)

The remote sensing survey will utilize state-of-the-art equipment to gather data prior to dive operations.
This preliminary survey will utilize a Marine Magnetics Explorer Magnetometer with a Differential Global
Positioning System (DGPS) for sub-meter accuracy. Seafarer’s Quest will incorporate software to ensure
the accurate collection of all data.

A series of track lines will be plotted over the position of the wreck site prior to the remote sensing survey.
Spaced at 50-foot intervals, each of the track lines length will be based to ensure complete coverage of the
permitted area.

Results of the additional remote sensing surveys will provide data critical to understanding the condition
and extent of the wreck site as well as bottom conditions and sediments. The magnetometer will provide a
comparative example to the data recorded by Gregg Bounds, Aquasurvey et al in previous years. This will
assist in identifying any site formation changes that may have occurred since the initial site investigation.

Context Control

The first objective for this project will be to maintain a high degree of context control for the recovery by
relocating and re-establishing the survey grid at the wreck site. This survey grid, using the State of Florida
Plane Coordinate System, was designated during the previous Phase I/II investigation of the wreck site in
2005. Attempts will be made to first relocate and re-establish the remnants of the original baseline anchor
points placed onsite during the initial investigation. If the original baseline cannot be relocated or has been
compromised by environmental factors it will be re-established using the same methods used during the
initial investigation by HTQ et al. A baseline, 100 feet in length will be established from N0/E0 east to
N0/E100. This polypropylene baseline, tagged at 10-foot increments will serve as the guide for establishing
the primary baseline. This 110-foot baseline, oriented parallel to the exposed hull remains or ballast deposit
mound, when found, will serve as the main baseline for the current investigation. All baselines and transect
lines will be secured to the seafloor using large screw anchors. All grid lines will be tagged in 10-foot
intervals to assist in establishing the grid blocks to be investigated during the current investigation. Line
tags will consist of differing colors for orientation on the site. Once the primary baseline has been
established, subsequent perpendicular temporary transect lines will be placed over the wreck site depending
upon the area of the wreck to be investigated. This will reduce the amount of transect lines on the wreck
site at any one time. These transects will then be used to position the rigid frame grid squares over the wreck
site. Each rigid grid square will be 10 feet by 10 feet square and anchored in the seafloor with vertical
anchor points driven into the seafloor. In an effort to manage the acquisition of data and maintain context
control of the artifact assemblage, the 10-foot by 10-foot grid square will be further divided into four, 5-
foot square quadrants. This will allow divers to control the horizontal and vertical position of hull
components and artifacts during the excavation. Smaller 1-foot drawing grids will also be utilized to record
details in the grid squares. To ensure accurate placement of transect lines and the placement of rigid frame
grid squares, buoys will be drop placed with sub-meter accuracy at the end of each transect line prior to
establishing the next transect. This will allow divers more accuracy when anchoring transect lines in the
seafloor. All grids will be established in relation to the on-site baseline.

Determination of Extant Hull Remains

To delineate the hull remains a hydro-probe survey will be carried over the entire wreck site. Hydro-probing,
similar to shovel testing in terrestrial archaeology, allows divers to quickly and non-intrusively determine
the extent of buried hull remains. Review of the previous investigation indicates hull structure
approximately 2-3 feet beneath the sand bottom. The most effective method to determine the amount of
lower hull remains is to utilize a hydro-probe in a grid format, spaced at 10-foot intervals perpendicular to
the established N40 baseline. Proceeding from the baseline and hydro-probing every 10 feet perpendicular
to the baseline, the diver will be able to determine the extent of lower-hull remains by either negative or
positive “hits”. Once obtaining a negative return with the hydro-probe, the diver will then work back toward
the baseline at 1-foor intervals until a positive return is obtained. The results of the hydro-probing will assist
archaeologists with recommendations relative to future investigations and allow for a better delineation of
the remaining hull structure, if found, associated with the suspected Shipwreck.

Preliminary Surface Collection of Exposed Artifacts

In conjunction with the hydro-probing survey, a controlled surface collection/mapping will be carried out
of any exposed artifacts. Divers will inspect the bottom in 2-foot arcs at each hydro-probe location. Artifact
types and descriptions will be logged on the surface as well as positions prior to removal. This survey will
document the site formation process of disturbances due to dredging and/or natural storm and sedimentation
events. Tight context control will ensure artifact distributions across the site will be documented for
analysis.

Recordation of Hull Architecture and Fittings

All surviving hull architecture and fittings will be recorded in the areas investigated to assist in determining
the vessel form and type. It is anticipated that a systematic approach to the investigation of various grids
will allow archaeologists to record the extant hull construction and fittings of the shipwreck. Recordation
of the vessel construction will include measured drawings/sketches and/or verbal measurements reported
by Surface Supplied Air divers to the surface dive control station. The method of recordation will depend
upon the underwater environment onsite during the investigation. Environmental elements affecting the
method of hull recordation may include visibility, current/surge, or sediments within the water column.

All structural features and artifact concentrations will be fully recorded and shall be mapped and integrated
into a composite site plan. Prior to field work, all grid locations will be determined in consultation with the
State of Florida’s Bureau of Archaeological Research (FBAR). The locations of recovery and mapping may
shift.

Assessment of Hull Structure along the Keel

An assessment of the extant hull structure along the keel will be made after the aforementioned grid blocks
have been successfully documented. Systematic investigations will be undertaken along one side of the keel
assembly to tie in hull construction features between the excavated grid blocks. The scope and extent of
these excavations will be dependent upon time and budget and will be decided upon in consultation with
the FBAR.

Provenience Control and Excavation

The excavation methods are designed to maintain tight control of spatial data for artifacts and all features
across the site in order to perform interpretation and guide future management decisions and recovery
30
efforts. Excavation of the sandy overburden will be undertaken with 3-inch induction dredges within
gridded, 5-foot by 5-foot quadrants of each 10-foot by 10-foot grid square. All dredge effluent will be
pumped to the surface and run through a sluice system of screens decreasing in size. The sluice will be
located along the starboard side or near the stern of the research vessel (Iron Maiden). The screens will be
monitored continually with archaeologists bagging artifacts in water-filled bags and tagging them with
appropriate provenience information. Caution will be used during all dredging operations to ensure that
artifacts, features, and changes in sediment are observed during the dredging process. When observed,
dredging activity will stop and appropriate procedures followed to ensure that artifacts and features are not
disturbed by the dredge head and that necessary methods for any special recovery needs of particular
artifacts are established and that spatial and stratigraphic data are properly recorded and assessed.

Artifacts and features encountered during dredging operations will remain in situ for mapping. Artifacts
and features will be plotted using triangulation within each 10-feet by 10-feet grid square, and its disposition
mapped prior to recovery. Photographs of artifacts and features in situ will also be taken if visibility permits.
Archaeologists will map on Mylar sheets pre-labeled with grid and scale marks corresponding to the grid
inserts. After mapping, each artifact will be tagged upon recovery with appropriate provenience information
including grid square, quadrant and sub grid location. Once properly tagged, artifacts will be taken to the
surface and placed in immediate care of the Seafarer’s Quest conservator for proper storage and processing.

Conservation and Curation of Artifacts

The Project Archaeologist will be on the research vessel daily to take custody of all artifacts and associated
materials from the site. All artifacts and associated materials brought to the surface will be immediately
placed in appropriate containers to ensure artifacts remain in a wet environment and that all provenience
data remains with the artifact. Processing on the research vessel will be conducted by the Project
Archaeologist. Seafarer’s Quest will care for, analyze, and provide conservation and long-term curation for
all recovered artifacts.

Discovery of Human Remains

Due to the age of the artifacts the possibility of human remains is remote. If during the exploration of or
permitted area Seafarer’s Quest does discover human remains all diving operations will stop, USCG and
DHR will be notified and procedures followed in accordance with Section 872.05, F.S.

Analysis

Hull Analysis

All surviving hull architecture, when found) and fittings will be located and recorded in the areas
investigated to assist in determining the vessel form and type. Detailed analysis of the surviving hull
components is critical to estimating vessel size and function and can offer conclusions on the vessel’s
origins and the vessel type. The surviving hull may also provide clues as to how the vessel was wrecked,
why the vessel sank and if the vessel was salvaged. Hull analysis can also detail how cargo was loaded and
stored while at sea. Seafarer’s Quest will incorporate available literature for comparative analysis with the
vessel remains. Such literature includes several 18th century ship construction treatises as well as
archaeological 18th century shipwreck site comparisons and syntheses. Examples from this extant body of
literature include: Mungo Murray’s A Treatise on Shipbuilding and Navigations (1765), William
Hutchinson’s A Treatise on Naval Architecture (1794), and David Steel’s “The Elements and Practices of
31
Naval Architecture” (1805). Archaeologically recorded 18th century vessel remains that may be appropriate
for comparisons include but are not limited to: 44YO88, the British brig Betsey sunk at Yorktown, Virginia
in 1781 during the American Revolution (Morris 1991); the English-built merchantman San Felipe wrecked
in 1733 off of Florida (Beeker and James 1995); the British sloop Industry wrecked in 1764 off Florida
(Franklin et al. 1999); the British Transport located off Chub Heads Cut, Bermuda (Krivor 1998); the El
Nuevo Constante built in England in 1764 (Pearson and Hoffman 1995); and the 18th century Reader’s
Point wreck, located in St. Anne’s Bay, Jamaica (Cook and Rubenstein 1995). Additionally, modern
syntheses of 18th century vessel construction practices based on archaeological remains such as Morris,
Watts and Franklin’s the Comparative Analysis of 18th-Century Vessel Remains in the Archaeological
Record: A Synthesized Theory of Framing Evolution (1995) will aid in a more thorough analysis of the
archaeological and hull remains (if found) of the project.

Artifact Spatial Analysis

Analysis of the spatial grouping of artifacts across the site is a major objective in the research design of this
project. The control of provenience information for artifact mapping and recovery has been addressed in
the excavation methods section and it is acknowledged that Seafarer’s Quest will provide detailed artifact
inventories including provenience, material type, weight, and size, with associated records to the State. The
integration of the provenience data, the physical type data, and function data of the artifacts into a geo-
referenced, digital layout that allows varying arrangements of this data, is critical to this aspect of the
project’s research design. For purposes of intra-site spatial analysis, artifacts will be catalogued using a
system closely following the system developed by Stanley South for artifact pattern analysis (1977) on
British Colonial sites in the United States. This approach offers a systematic way to label artifacts in order
to observe potential patterns of shipboard function and has been used with success in prior shipwreck
analyses (see Moore 2002, Meade 2001, Wilde-Ramsing 2006). The categories used to label artifacts are
relevant to shipboard functions and include: ship architecture, food ways (onboard), personal items, tools,
armament, cargo, and intrusive artifacts. All identifiable artifacts shall be assigned a functional category
within the main artifact database. In order to discern patterning across the site based upon these categories,
each artifact location will be transferred into the site plan in associated with the site grids / Lat and Long
lines. For visual referencing, all artifacts will be displayed in the site plan using a color coded to the category
to which the artifact was assigned. Pattern analysis can then be conducted using frequency within
excavation grids to discern relationships between the categories and their frequency and location. Statistical
significance of these frequencies can be analyzed using chi square distributions and the “t-test”. The t-test
is a mathematical test that assesses if observed differences in means are statistically significant and so are
not likely to be chance. Both are mathematical probability calculators that serve as barometers of
significance in statistical testing. The pattern analysis can help discern the relationship of artifact types and
their frequency between units and help to reveal patterns related to the ship’s layout, and its site formation
processes. These distribution analyses will also be applied to additional attributes of the artifacts in order
to assess patterns not specifically associated with shipboard function. For example, analyzing the
distribution of heavier artifacts versus lighter artifacts across a gridded location may suggest patterns
associated with post-wrecking processes that have affected the site layout over time. Concretions represent
a special consideration on the wreck with regards to analysis of shipboard functions. The artifact types
embedded in the concretions, and the identification of the concretions themselves shall be an important
component of pattern analysis. Seafarer’s Quest will integrate visual recording and concretion data into the
frequency analysis to the greatest extent possible given the parameters of the work associated with large
concretions during this phase of the project. Ultimately, the analysis of artifact spatial patterning across the
site, in association with the known elements of the hull structure or structures, will significantly help to
address questions about the ship’s layout. This data can also help address questions about ship type,
wrecking processes, and site formation processes.

32
Artifact Processing and Analysis

Archaeologists and laboratory staff from Seafarer’s Quest will be on the recovery vessel to take custody of
all artifacts and associated materials on a daily basis and will be responsible for immediate care,
maintenance of provenience/contextual data, stabilization, curation and conservation in consultation with
FBAR. Seafarer’s Quest will provide a complete inventory of artifact types, styles and distributions on a
weekly basis in order to assist in guiding the recovery operations. Detailed artifact analysis by Seafarer’s
Quest Project Archaeologist, and archival researcher will answer questions pertaining to time periods, the
origin and destination of the vessel, the origin and destination of the cargo as well as the possible name of
the vessel. This information combined with the historical research can detail the political, social and
economic life in the Middle Atlantic Colonies and reveal information about the regional, coastal and
international trade networks in the colonial world.

Reporting and Dissemination of Results

Seafarer’s Quest will compile and produce graphically illustrated and scientifically sound technical reports
that conform to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Archeological Documentation and the Florida
Bureau of Archaeological Research’s Guidelines for Architectural and Archaeological Surveys in Florida.
A popular report intended for a wide audience will also be prepared for public distribution, as well as
commercially marketable publications.

Presentation at Professional Conferences

At the discretion of the Department of State, Seafarer’s Quest will present the project background, previous
investigations, vessel history, and investigative findings at public conferences in the Florida and nationwide.

Conclusion

Significant historical features have been noted through the investigations conducted during this permitted
period. Additional investigation is required to fully understand the extent of the historical material present
in this area. This investigation would include additional underwater surveys and diver visual investigation
(dig and identify). The entire effort has been conducted in collaboration with the State of Florida
Department of State, Bureau of Archaeological Research, and as such, any changes to field objectives,
methodology or data recovery were made in consultation with the State to ensure that the best interests of
the project are served.

D. Archaeological Fieldwork.

Seafarer’s Quest, LLC, working under the 1A-31 permit undertook investigations sensitive to the nature of
underwater finds and also the idea of in situ preservation. All objects investigated have been left in situ as
required by the permit and their nature (“modern” or “potentially historical’), identification (if available),
tag number (if applicable) and location recorded on the daily field logs which are included as part of this
final report.

Sites encountered and evaluated were all flat sandy or silty bottom with no observable protrusions or
significant observable features. When an anomaly was encountered using the metal detectors described
above, hand-fanning was use to carefully move the sand until the specific cause of the metal detector alarm

33
could be located and identified. Most anomalies located were modern in nature, bottle caps, beer cans, shell
casings and general trash that has been discarded or washed from the shore during storms.

In 2014, a number of objects (pins, through hull fittings, deadeye strapping and nails) were located. Also
found were a number of relatively large wooden features that appear to be structural material. One feature
was still articulated; others single timber pieces, with nails or fittings were also recorded

During initial operatons in 2014, diving was cordinated around the radius of the cannon’s suspected original
location and working towards the priority targets listed in the permit. During these dives, a pattern / trail
was noted from this location towards the south and west contiuning into Seafare Exploration’s permitted
area 1 (MB 514 A1). The trail identified is scattered and not well defined so boundaries or subareas have
not been identified. It was then decided to investigate targets in and surrounding this trail under the
conditions set forth in permit 2014.04 and to defer the investigation of the remaining two targets on the
initial priority list. Fourteen of the sixteen priority targets were investigated as listed in Error! Reference s
ource not found. Table 5 Area 2 Priority Targets 2014, page 53.

During 2014, Seafarer’s Quest’s investigation was primarily in Area 2, which is outlined in the “General
Description” section of this report, with the priority focus on targets provided to the State with the initial
permit request. The first order of investigation for Seafarer’s Quest was the conformation of the cannon’s
current location and any features which remained on the site. This would normally have been considered
an important marker for the investigation of the wreck; however, we had heard through various sources that
the cannon had been moved from its original location. After relocating the cannon and investigating the
immediate vicinity the validity of the move became apparent. No other shipwreck associated artifacts were
found. It should be noted here that the cannon, although not in its original location, was left as found in
situ. The fact that the cannon was moved made our investigation much more challenging in that the original
area where most of the diagnostic artifacts were found was not precisely known. Further investigation and
research narrowed down the original artifact field; current coordinates are based on locating HTQ’s
discarded grid area and what appeared to be the original cannon impression left in the bottom of the seabed.

Anomaly Investigations

During 2014 and 2015, the vessel Iron Maiden was used as the main working platform with two subsequent
vessels (Neptune and Headhunter) used to support diving operations and anomaly identification. The
34
anomalies investigated coincided with those detailed in the permit as well as some adjacent areas that were
determined to be high probability areas based upon the accumulating target identification evidence.
Materials associated with an historic shipwreck had been reported by other groups (Amelia Research and
Recovery and Florida Research and Recovery) as located in and/or recovered from this area. Diver
investigations began around Anomaly 611 expanded from there to surrounding anomalies that had been
identified on previous surveys.
Dredging
In August 2014, while investigating target MB396 using small hand tools and hand fanning the divers were
able to uncover a small feature which appeared to be a wooden timber. The bottom composition in this
area is thick mud / clay overburden about 10 to 16 inches in depth. It was determined that to fully uncover
the object, mechanical means were required.
A dredge was deployed consisting of a P250 pump, 3-inch supply & suction line and a 6-inch discharge
hose. Using the dredge to fully uncover the feature took 4 days of 2-man dive teams diving up to 4 dives
per day. The dredge was very ineffective in the muddy/clay bottom type. The consistency of the bottom
material prevented flow into the nozzle and clogged the discharge hose. Visibility at the site was poor as
evidenced in Figure 5, below. After 4 days of work it was determined by the project archeologist that the
object was more modern than the time period of this permitted investigation and appeared to be the rings
and a few timbers from a large oak rum barrel.

Figure 5 Oak Rum Barrel Rings (In-Situ)

Target Investigation: July 28 to Dec. 27, 2014
During this reporting period there were 42 days spent on site. A complete listing of the survey targets
investigated during this time period is provided in Table 6 Area 2 Dive Record 2014, page 53.
Information includes the:
 Date investigated
 Target number
 Longitude / Latitude
 Gamma Strength
 Dive finds
Targets with “No Find” notation were not located using a hand-held metal detector. This indicated the
survey target is most likely deeper than the range of the hand-held metal detector but was within the range
of the magnetometer.

The items pictured in Figure 6, below, were mostly highly degraded iron fasteners some of which had some
wooden material still encrusted along with the fastener. All items located were left in situ after having been
photographed on the seabed. These photographs show the types of construction elements that were observed
and are associated with the scattered debris field identified for this wreck. As yet no primary ballast area
has been identified.

MB514 Target 567 - Fastener w/wood MB514 Target 658 - Iron Fastener

Figure 6 Fasteners (In-Situ)

Deadeye Strap
Another object identified was a part of the standing rigging of the vessel, the iron components of a deadeye
ring and the strap, Figure 7, on next page, that attached it to the side of the vessel. This object (Survey
Anomaly A-446), was part of the “standing rigging” of the ship (i.e. the stationary rigging). A deadeye was
a block with three holes uses to receive the lanyard of a shroud or a stay and provide some purchase to
adjust tension, to the masts. This object, remains in situ, however its relative importance is obvious. These
36
objects were attached to the upper structure of a vessel above the water line. We can surmise from this
object that at least a part of the upper decking was moving through this area during the wrecking process.

Figure 7 Deadeye Strap (In-Situ)

Cupreous Buckle
While investigating smaller anomalies utilizing the swing circle method as defined earlier a small copper
alloy buckle (Anomaly #MB660) was uncovered on September 15th, 2014. The buckle was tagged SEA
00360 and is pictured here in Figure 8, below. This sort of utilitarian buckle was common in the colonial
period and examples have been recovered of nearly identical artifacts from shipwrecks associated with the
1715 fleet. Buckles of this sort had a variety of uses; this particular object is likely not a shoe buckle. It may
have been part of a strap assembly for a soldier’s uniform, or it may have been a part of a harness for a
horse.
While its particular usage may be ambiguous, the fact that the object is clearly from the time period of the
target vessel is important.

Figure 8 Cupreous Buckle

Buckles of this sort are described in both Ivor Noel Hume’s “A Guide to Artifacts of Colonial America”
pp. 84-88 (University of Pennsylvania Press, 1969) as well as Kathleen Deegan’s “Artifacts of the Spanish
Colonies of Florida and the Caribbean 1500 – 1800 Volume 2” pp. 180 – 192. (Smithsonian Institution
Press, 2002)
The raising of the object off of the seabed in area MB514-1A was due to internal confusion over what
permit divers were operating under. It was unfortunately unclear that the guidelines between permit MB514-
1A and MB514-2 were not the same. A report on the inadvertent recovery of the buckle was submitted to
37
the state and Seafarer’s Quest offered to return the buckle to the site. However, the diagnostic nature of the
object was very important in our ongoing investigations and interpretation of this highly scattered and
degraded site. FBAR graciously agreed that it could remain on the surface as part of the collection from this
site.
2015
Target Investigation: Dec. 28, 2014 to July 27, 2015
During this reporting period there were 29 days spent on site. Vessels and methodologies remained the
same as those used during the previous time period. Anomaly investigation continued following a trail of
targets running north to south through the area.

Seafarer’s Quest has identified an additional 21 potential time period finds. These items include numerous
encrusted objects, iron pins, iron pins with wood, an additional deadeye, numerous wooden beams / timbers,
as well as small sections of wooden structures. All items have remained in an in situ.

Target Investigation: July 28 to Dec. 27, 2015

During July to Dec 2015, Seafarer’s Quest LLC investigated magnetic anomalies on site MB514, a site
suspected to hold the remains of an historic period shipwreck. Seafarer’s Quest at this time employed 3
vessels for this effort, the main vessel of Seafarer’s Quest, MV Iron Maiden, the No Limit and the Neptune.

During this reporting period there were 26 days spent on site. Anomaly investigation continued in area A2
following a trail of targets that running north to south through the area. The vessels were manned by dive
teams with a primary mission to investigate anomalies through diver reconnaissance using the swing circle
and hand fanning methodologies defined previously.

Based on the investigations during the 2014 and 2015 period, Seafarer’s Quest determined that a
magnetometer survey was needed to aid in the continuing investigation in the areas in which either “No
Finds” were reported or were barren of anomalies on the prior surveys. Anomalies that were previously
identified by divers acted as a control for both the accuracy of the GPS and the analysis of the data obtained
during the survey. The primary intent of this survey was to add additional information to the existing
surveys. The survey was conducted in accordance with the “Archeological Guidelines for Remote Sensing
Survey Work of an Exploration Permit Area”.

The survey boundaries of Figure 11 “D” Survey Area Chart, page 90 was:
North East 2804.000 -8032.150
North West 2803.790 -8032.800
South East 2802.420 -8031.430
South West 2802.200 -8032.080

The intervals between lines were set to 30 feet for a total of 81 lines. A Geometrics 822 magnetometer was
employed for this survey using Geometrics software for data analysis.
In August of 2015 the crew of the “No Limit” began the survey completing 42 of the 81 lines. After
analyzing the data and cross-checking prior surveys, 45 additional anomalies were located and 2 anomalies
previously reported by divers as “No Find” remained valid. Anomalies in this survey were given “D-
xxx” identification numbers. A link to the “D” listing of the additional 45 anomalies is provided below.
Table 7 “D” Survey Anomalies Listing, Page 54.
38
Also discovered in MB514 during this time period were several highly degraded timbers. James Sinclair,
Project Archaeologist at that time, instructed the crew to obtain small samples of the wood for analysis
where possible without removing objects from an in-situ resting place. This analysis was used to determine
the type of wood being seen on the site and to determine, if possible, the wood’s area of origin providing
more information on the possible origin of the fragments. Unfortunately attempts to photograph the timber
fragments were unsuccessful due to extremely limited visibility.
Samples were obtained from the locations listed in Table 3 below and sent to Dr. Harry Alden of Alden
Identification Service, 3560 Brookeside Drive, Chesapeake Beach, MD 20732 443-624-5712,
http://woodid.homestead.com/ais.html, [email protected]. As an archaeologist for different projects
Dr. Sinclair had used Dr. Alden’s services in the past and a link to his report. Figure 12 Alden

Table 3 Wood Samples Sent for Analysis

In reviewing the wood analysis results; Figure 12, page 91, two samples stood out: SEA #0439 and SEA
#0443.

 Sample SEA#0439 appeared to be a tropical hardwood; however, the sample was too small for
definitive analysis.
 SEA#0443, which is located in Area 1, appeared to be a type of European fir

Both of these samples lead to a possible conclusion that the subject wood, if from the same vessel, may be
from a ship that was likely constructed in Europe, with possible modifications made in the “tropics”. This
fit in well with the theory that the site being worked may have been involved with trade in the New World
during the Colonial period. Any ship that worked in tropical waters for any amount of time likely needed
repairs. If in an area where tropical hardwoods were the materials used to construct those vessels, then one
might expect that there would be a mix of both European and New World sourced woods.

The last day of diving for the 2015 season, October 15, 2015, was devoted to exploring the new “D” survey
targets. A total of 5 dives were conducted at 8 of the newly identified anomalies. All anomalies were found
to be more modern than the time period under investigation. The primary strategy of these dive operations
was to verify the accuracy of the survey and distance from the drop of the diver buoy to the target. The

39
divers reported that all targets were within feet of the drop buoy and items found reflected the gamma
strength indicated. Table 8 Area 2 Dive Record 2015, page 57.

2016
The 2016 season proved to be a difficult diving season with only few days on site where weather and sea
conditions allowed the conduct of safe diving. Only a total of 19 priority targets were investigated, Table
8 Area 2 Dive Record 2016 of which 7 were “No Finds”.

Target Investigation: December 28, 2015 to July 27, 2016

During this reporting period no days spent on site. Seafarer’s Quest did not conduct any fieldwork during
this time period as reflected by Daily Field Note and Activity Logs (Form HR6E067, Revised 06/08).

Target Investigation: July 28 to Dec. 27, 2016

During July to Dec 2016, Seafarer’s Quest continued exploration of Area 2. During this reporting period
there were 7 days spent on site. During this period, we explored the Priority Targets submitted to FBAR as
illustrated in Figure 13 Area 2 Priority Target Chart 2016-2017, page 94; a detailed chart, including the
anomaly number, GPS location, gamma strength and the date investigated (if investigation has been
performed) has been provided on the accompanying CD, file “Seafarer Exploration Area 2 Melbourne 2014-
04”, ArcMap file.

Of the 45 targets listed in the 2016 Area 2 priority listing (Table 12 Priority Target List 2016, page 79)
19 were explored. All exploration results were submitted in the Daily Field Logs. Out of the 19 targets
investigated 7 were reported as “No Find”. The decision was made to re-survey the areas along the shoreline
based on the large number of “No Find” results. The remaining targets listed on the priority listing were
placed on hold until the survey was conducted and analyzed.

The Melbourne Shoreline (MS) Survey was conducted in accordance with the “Archeological Guidelines
for Remote Sensing Survey Work of an Exploration Permit Area” on September 19 through 21, 2016 and
identified 518 anomalies within the area (Figure 14 “MS” Survey Area Chart, page 95) a detailed chart,
including the anomaly number, GPS location, gamma strength and the date investigated (if investigation
has been performed) has been provided on the accompanying CD, file “Seafarer Exploration Area 2
Melbourne 2014-04”, ArcMap file. A comparison of the MS Survey (Table 9 MS Survey listing, page
60) and the prior HTQ turnover surveys within the same area was conducted. Any anomalies from prior
surveys not reflected in the MS survey were removed from the priority listing and from the chart (Table 10
Anomalies Removed from HTQ Survey, page 72). Any anomalies that had been identified prior to the
survey were retained as well as noted with the additional survey data. Any targets listed as “No Find”
within the new survey area were removed from the chart but retained on all diving records.

2017
Target Investigation: Dec. 28, 2016 to July 27, 2017

This reporting period there were 8 days spent on site. Once again weather and sea state prevented additional
diving. During the 2017 dive season, Seafarer Quest investigated a Priority Target anomaly trail appearing
to run across the southern end of Area 2 from east to west. These anomalies were investigated using hand

40
held metal detectors and hand fanning as discussed earlier. After conducting a search of each target,
completing a 40-foot search circle, it was determined that 4 out of 4 of the anomalies were either too deep
to locate with hand held metal detectors or no longer in the location indicated by the survey listing. Figure
15 Area 2 Priority Target Chart 2017, page 96.

2019
Target Investigation: Jan. 14, 2019 to July 13, 2019
This reporting period 3 days were spent working on site. Any dive days prior to July were spent
investigating Area 1 along the coast line working North. Our plan has been to investigate targets
approximately 1000 to 2000 feet off the beach line that were not already investigated. Once completed, up
to the Northern boundary of Area 2, we will conduct additional surveys within this area to ascertain if any
“No Finds” recorded are not there or just too deep to locate with a handheld metal detector. We firmly
believe that targets deeper than 3 meters below the seabed are within the time period being investigated.
This theory is based on the finding of numerous large wooden features and the depth at which they were
found. Figure 15 Area 2 Priority Target Chart 2019, page 96, a detailed chart which includes the
anomaly number, GPS location, gamma strength and the date investigated (if investigation has been
performed) has been provided on the accompanying CD. See file “Seafarer Exploration Area 2 Melbourne
2014-04”, ArcMap file. Diving records for this period are contained in Table 13 Area 2 Dive Record
2019, page 80.

Historical Fieldwork.

The 2014.04 MB514 A2 boundaries start at the Northwest corner at N28°04.366’ and W80°33.516’, or to
a point that meets mean low water line, then to the Northeast corner to N28°04.356’ and W080°31.433’,
then proceeds to the Southeast corner at N28°03.500’ and W080°31.000’ and proceeds to the Southwest
corner at N28°03.483’ and W080°33.133’ or to a point that meets the mean low water line. There are no
buffer zones required within this area.

Seafarer’s Quest’s analysis of the diving conditions was used to determine the best methodology to conduct
underwater investigations. All divers were trained in Seafarer’s Circle Search (Swing Circle), Locate and
Identify Magnetic Anomaly Procedure using hand held metal detectors. This well-established underwater
search procedure was adapted considering the depth of the water within the permitted area, visibility, bottom
type, and the ability to accurately identify an object and report its position. Each 2-person dive team’s tools
consisted of a center pike with a line reel to be used for swing circles and an AQUAPULSE AQ1B metal
detector with a 15-inch submersible coil for a broad search and 8 to 10-inch coil for precise locating. The
divers start at the pike inserted in the seafloor at the survey’s recorded GPS position. They circle the pike
using over lapping circles, extending the line at the completion of each revolution moving outward to a 40
to 50-foot radius as measured from center pike. All divers were routinely reminded of the need for
investigations of anomalies to remain in situ with minimal bottom disturbance.

The anomalies to be investigated and the order they were to be conducted was determined based previously
identified artifacts reported to the State by HTQ and their relationship to unexplored anomalies noted on
multiple magnetometer surveys conducted in 2005, 2007 and 2009. Once all targets around known finds
had been explored the search area surrounding these targets was expanded.
41
Once a trail was established all unexplored anomalies where added to the Priority Target Listing. Since
this appears to be a widely scattered wreckage all anomalies will at some point be required to be
investigated.

Seafarer’s Quest identified 16 locations appearing to be of a historical nature. These items, as

documented earlier in this report, include a cannon, pins both ferrous & bronze, a deadeye, encrusted
objects, wooden fragments, and larger wooden features. Our request for records in the Florida Master Site
File for this site have been unproductive. Pictures and drawings of the finds listed in the following Table
4 are in Attachment 2 Pictures / Drawings of Period Finds, Page 99, as well as on the accompanying

Table 4 Historical Material Listing

All dive finds both modern and historic have been recorded on our Daily Field Logs and submitted to the
State. A table is provided with all findings as well as a link to any pictures taken when visibility allowed,
Table 14 Master Dive Listing 2014.04 (2014- 2019), page 81. All findings have also been charted and
their position and verified and electronic copy in an ArcMap file with this report.

Multiple “targets” in the project area were not investigated due to weather conditions and / or sea state not
allowing safe investigation throughout the project permit period. These targets were listed on the Priority
Target List, however do not appear on the Daily Field Note and Activity Logs (Form HR6E067, revised
06/08) or in the diving reports submitted to the State.

Portions of the project area that were examined, but did not contain historical, architectural, engineering or
cultural resources were listed on the Daily Field Note and Activity Logs (Form HR6E067, Revised 06/08)
as either “No Find” or “Modern”. “No Find” indicated the anomaly indicated on the survey chart was not

42
located using a hand-held metal detector. A “Modern” designation indicates the item was identified as later
than the period of the research permit. Most of this modern material consisted of trash that was either
dumped or washed off from the shore into the permit area. Modern items included cans, car parts, tires,
boat parts and other similar items.

E. Archaeological Results and Conclusions.

All artifacts, with the exception of the buckle and the wood samples, were left in-situ. There was no
laboratory analysis required for identification other than for genealogy testing. The wood samples sent to
an external laboratory, as discussed in the Archaeological Fieldwork section, were sent for genealogy
testing only, and the buckle was visually identified. The analysis that was performed by Dr. Alden on the
wood identified two species of wood that provided some insight as to their origin. One was the European
derived sample and the other was the tropical hardwood, indicative of at least some shipfitting of the vessel
in those latitudes. The one object that was recovered that helps define this wreckage was the brass buckle
that typologically appears to date to the colonial period.
Our curation facility, Florida Institute of Technology, Department of Ocean Engineering and Sciences
currently has no artifacts under their care. Seafarer’s Quest retains custody of the project records and the
one artifact (buckle) retrieved. All other artifacts remain in-situ in the location noted on the Daily Field
Logs.

Currently, Seafarer Quest has been conducting investigation of the area in accordance with Phase 2 of our
research design, (Identifying and ground truthing anomalies, using the least invasive techniques). We will
proceed to Phase Three upon the renewal of our permit. In this phase we anticipate starting to address our
Field Objectives as outlined in our Research Design.

In analyses of our Field Objectives only the first objective, “Maintain a high degree of context control for
the recovery, by re-locating and re-establishing the survey grid at the site” has been reached. This was
accomplished during the first year of field research. With the limited information provided by the previous
permit holder of this area, we located the current position of the cannon (80‫ ﹾ‬32’ 28” W, 28‫ ﹾ‬3’ 40” N) and
the hypothesized-previous grid location (80‫ ﹾ‬32’ 5” W, 28‫ ﹾ‬3’ 42” N) where the cannon was initially
discovered. It was determined that to return the cannon to the original location would require dragging the
artifact in a heading of 083.83 degrees for 2,031 feet. This could result in damage to the cannon and
associated degradation of the wider site.
The remaining Field Objectives:

- Define and record all surviving hull architecture and fittings in the investigation area in order to
determine vessel form and type.

- Determine the distribution of cargo and shipboard functions by conducting systematic investigation
of grid blocks or swing circles along any existing cargo scatter or along any remaining hull material
or structure.

- Further characterize site internal structure by completing investigation along the keel, or on either
side of the keel, linking the apparent bow, amidships and stern areas as time and budget permit.

have yet to be accomplished.

With all artifacts remaining In-Situ, as well as limited excavation conducted, the integrity of the site remains
intact.
43
In accordance 36 C.F.R. 60 (“National Register of Historic Places”), reference National Register criteria
for evaluation (a) – (d), and Criteria considerations (a) – (g); this area does not qualify for applying at this
time.

The “targets” investigated in the 2014.04 area have proved to be difficult to locate with handheld metal
detectors. Divers investigated 205 anomalies in which 32 of these being listed as “No Finds”. With the
large number of “No Finds” reported by the divers the metal detectors were continually being verified as
operating properly and the target re-checked. The following assumptions were made:

(a) The anomalies are no longer there, (or)

(b) The anomalies are deeper that the metal detectors can sense (most likely).

There are 644 survey anomalies reported within the 2014.04 area in which only 205 have been identified.
Continued investigation, as well as additional surveys, is required to understand the historical wreckage
material found within the area. During the 3-year permit period, Seafarer’s Quest theorizes there are 2
historical anomaly trails, one which is in the center of 2014.04 permit area leading south west out of the
area forming a “banana pattern” indicative of wreckage being spread about during the passing of a major
storm. The other trail runs north to south-southeast in the eastern quadrant of the area continuing to the
north and south of the permitted area. The north-south trail has been more difficult to confirm during our
investigation due to the large number of “No Finds” indicated above.
The visibility in this area makes the investigation more difficult as investigators traveled further east into
the permitted area. This was primarily due to seabed becoming more of a mud / silt combination that can
be anywhere from 6-inches to 2 or more feet thick. Refer to Figure 16 Historical Material Area 1 and 2,
page 97; Figure 17 Historical Locations Area 2, page 98, a detailed chart, including the anomaly number,
GPS location, gamma strength and the date investigated (if investigation has been performed) has been
provided on the accompanying CD, file “Seafarer Exploration Area 2 Melbourne 2014-04”, ArcMap file.

It appears very clearly that the remains of historic period vessel(s) exist in the 2014.04 area under
investigation. The presence of previously recovered items that the State and HTQ retain title to makes this
clear. Further investigations have revealed a number of other objects, all of which have been left in situ,
and reported to the State confirming the highly scattered remains of at least one historic period shipwreck.
This has been documented within our Daily Field Logs and Figures / Tables / Attachments, provided in this
report.
From the evidence uncovered, it is concluded that the diagnostic artifacts – the Monteros Platter and the
Ramirez Flintlock Pistol recovered at the Melbourne Beach site approximately 14 miles north of the 1715
shipwreck sites is undoubtedly cargo from a missing 1715 shipwreck. It is believed that the vessel scatter
at the site is that of the Santisima Trinidad y Nuestra Señora de la Concepcieon, the vessel that transported
the consigned box of presents including the Monteros Platter from Veracruz to Havana and from Havana
to the Florida Treasure Coast where it was recovered almost 300 years later.
Seafarers Quest’s permit 2014.04 has been renewed, and so we will continue magnetometer surveys as well
as target investigation. With the current permit modifications, we are only at the beginning of our stated
objectives. It is only through the continued investigation of these highly scattered anomalies that we may
discern the path of the initial wrecking process. No objects will be recovered unless they are diagnostic in
nature as allowed by our permit. Non-diagnostic objects will be documented and left in-situ as has been

44
done over the course of the permit. It is hoped that continued investigation in the 2014.04 area will reveal
a more complete model of the wrecking process.

No external sources were utilized or quoted in Section “F” for which a bibliography would be required.

New Investigative Technology

During our years of investigation in the Melbourne Beach area, we have found that the most difficult
obstacle has been the sea bottom composition. Unlike the areas south of the Sebastian Islet where they
have either a reef system and / or shell rubble bottom, the Melbourne Beach area has more of a sediment
bottom. This sediment is a thick “muck” with a clay layer below covering a sandy / shell rubble layer.
The muck (Lithogenous) layer is from the land, formed through the weathering process, and is composed
of small particles from weathered rock and volcanic activity. Within Lithogenous sediments there are two
subcategories: Terrigenous and red clay. The layers below this layer is where most, if not all, of the time
period finds that have been found. This muck / clay layer can be anywhere from 12 inches to 3 feet thick
moving north within our permitted area.

Unless we blindly dig holes throughout our area, like the process used by those groups south of us, we are
looking for a needle in a haystack (the ocean). The process used by “investigators” to the south may be
fine for searching for the left-over scraps of artifacts entrapped in the reefs or shell rubble bottom in that
area. We are trying to locate a ship of the 1715 fleet that has never been found by either Spain, when
surveying the coastline after the storm, or any other team in the following 300 plus years.

For the last 12 months Seafarer Exploration has been collaborating with Wild Manta Labs and Probability
and Statistics, Inc. to improve the search technology beyond our current magnetometer and metal detector
techniques. This collaboration, with “Historically Significant” as the key element, has been to develop a
solution that allows high resolution 3-D imaging below the sea floor and provides enhanced metal
discrimination. The imaging process would be a proprietary high-resolution sub-bottom profiling
technique and the detection process would be a novel modulated EM/RF field system as opposed to
magnetic field distortion measurements such as with a magnetometer. The prototype of this technology,
known as SeaSearcher, should allow us to identify buried objects in appearance, size, depth, density, and
material category. The position will be marked using DGPS as well. Once this system is fully
operational, we should be able to perform precise exploration, imaging, and identification before any
excavation is attempted.”

Currently, the SeaSearcher is in the field-testing phase in using objects pre-positioned on a verification
range. This will be followed by limited testing within Seafarer’s permitted areas. Once fully operational
we will set up a meeting with the FBAR to review our results and our processes for conducting future
surveys and modify our Research and Design.

F. Historical Results and Conclusions.

In achieving our Project Objective, as stated in section “F”, Seafarer Quest has been conducting a Phase
Two investigation of the area, (Identifying and ground truth anomalies, using least invasive techniques).
With the amendment approval for prop wash deflection, and our permit renewal, we will move into Phase
Three.

45
An analysis of our Field Objectives has been completed; only the first objective has been completed. The
objective, “Maintain a high degree of context control for the recovery, by re-locating and re-establishing
the survey grid at the site” has been accomplished. To re-state, with the limited information provided by
the previous permit holder of this area, we confirmed the current position of the cannon. It was further
determined that to return the cannon to its original location would require dragging the cannon for 2,031
feet. This could well result in damage to the cannon and associated degradation of the wider site.

The remaining Field Objectives as stated below have yet to be addressed. These are:

- Define and record all surviving hull architecture and fittings in the investigation area in order to
determine vessel form and type.

- Determine the distribution of cargo and shipboard functions by conducting systematic investigation
of grid blocks or swing circles along any existing cargo scatter or along any remaining hull material
or structure.

- Further characterize site internal structure by completing investigation along the keel, or on either
side of the keel, linking the apparent bow, amidships and stern areas as time and budget permit.

With all artifacts remaining In-Situ, as well as limited excavation conducted, the integrity of the site remains
intact.

As stated in section “F”, In accordance 36 C.F.R. 60 (“National Register of Historic Places”), reference
National Register criteria for evaluation (a) – (d), and Criteria considerations (a) – (g); this area does not
qualify for application at this time. Additionally, there are not enough coherent archaeological remains to
determine with any degree of certainty the extent of historic shipwreck resources that may lie undiscovered
in the permit area. However, diagnostic artifacts previously recovered, indicate the presence of a shipwreck
that was part of of the Nueva España Flota of 1715.

As there are no building(s) or structure(s) in the permitted area to be altered or destroyed, no actions have
been undertaken for the purpose of recovering data about or from a building(s) or structure(s) to evaluate
and determine eligibility; or to document using the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) or Historic
American Engineering Record (HAER) standards and guidelines prior to proposed alteration or destruction.

It is only through the continued investigation of these highly scattered anomalies, with minimal site impact,
that the path of the initial wrecking process may be determined. Non-diagnostic objects will be documented
and left in-situ as has been done over the course of the permit. DHR will be notified immediately of any
artifacts that are diagnostic in nature. These diagnostic artifacts will be returned to their original location
until the appropriate course of action (preservation, mitigation or avoidance) has been determined.

As stated in section “F”, there are 644 survey anomalies reported within the 2014.04 area of which only
205 have been identified. Continued investigations as well as additional surveys are required to understand
the historical wreckage material found within the area. Seafarer’s Quest theorizes there are 2 historical
anomaly trails, one which is in the center of 2014.04 permit area leading south west out of the area forming
a “curved scimitar pattern” indicative of wreckage being spread about during the passing of a major storm.
The other trail runs north to south-southeast in the eastern quadrant of the area continuing to the north and
south of the permitted area. The north-south trail has been more difficult to confirm during our investigation
due to the large number of “No Finds” as discussed above. Refer to Figure 16 Historical Material Area 1
and 2, page 97; Figure 17 Historical Locations Area 2, page 98; a detailed chart, including the anomaly
number, GPS location, gamma strength and the date investigated (if investigation has been performed) has
46
been provided on the accompanying CD, file “Seafarer Exploration Area 2 Melbourne 2014-04”, ArcMap
file.

The lack of visibility in this area makes the investigation more difficult as the investigators explored further
east into the permitted area. This was primarily due to the topography of the seabed becoming more of a
mixed composition of mud and silt that averages from 6-inches to 2, or more, feet in thickness.

It appears that the remains of one or more historic period vessel(s) are present in the 2014.04 area under
investigation. It is believed that the vessel scatter at the site is that of the Santisima Trinidad y Nuestra
Señora de la Concepcieon, the vessel that transported the consigned box of presents including the Monteros
Platter from Veracruz to Havana and from Havana to the Florida Treasure Coast where it was recovered
almost 300 years later. Further investigations have revealed a number of other shipwreck artifacts, all of
which have been left in situ, and reported to the State. This confirms the highly scattered remains of at least
one historic period shipwreck as evidenced by the discovery of the Monteros Plate and the Ramírez Pistol.
This has been documented within our Daily Field Logs and Figures / Tables / Attachments, provided in this
report.
As stated in section “F”, our curation facility, Florida Institute of Technology, Department of Ocean of
Engineering and Sciences currently has no artifacts under their care. Seafarer’s Quest retains custody of the
project records and the one artifact (buckle) retrieved. All other artifacts remain in-situ in the location noted
on the Daily Field Logs. All photographs are in a digital format and are retained by Seafarer Quest and
have been turned over to DHR as submitted with prior reports.

Recommendations

Seafarer’s Quest is continuing to work towards the recommendations outlined in our Final Report as listed
below:

1. Continued investigation is required in order to complete the Field Objectives of the original permit
as stated in the above “Historical Results and Conclusions” paragraph (G.)
2. Artifact material already discovered in the area, and documented, indicates the presence of historical
shipwreck scatter, most likely associated with the remains of a colonial period shipwreck. This
material (cannon, flintlock pistol, silver platters) suggests that this vessel is a missing 1715 fleet
vessel, the Santisima Trinidad y Nuestra Senora de la Conception (Baer & DeBry 2018).
3. The four (4) remote sensing surveys conducted in the area, recorded 644 total anomalies. Of these,
only 205 (less than 35%) have been investigated. Of the 205 that were investigated, 15 were
determined to be historical in nature. It can be assumed that additional historical material exists in
the area awaiting discovery.
4. The investigation of the area was impeded due to inclement weather in two of the three years covered
by the initial permit (second ½ of 2015 through the first ½ of 2017). Additionally, work in the site
was suspended in April of 2017 prior to the end of the permit period (July 2017) based on the State’s
requirement that a final report be submitted before a permit renewal would be considered. This
allowed only ninety-two (92) total days on site over the three-year period of the original permit.

Additional time is needed to update survey information and to thoroughly investigate any new, and existing,
documented anomalies. Good weather will certainly result in the discovery and identification of additional
historical material.
