Serious inquiries only for price.
The 1715 Fleet Shipwreck, also known as the 1715 Spanish Treasure Fleet, was a maritime disaster that occurred off the east coast of Florida, United States. The fleet consisted of eleven Spanish galleons that were loaded with vast amounts of gold, silver, and other precious treasures from the New World colonies. The ships were en route to Spain, carrying the wealth accumulated over years of Spanish colonial activities in the Americas.
On July 30, 1715, the fleet set sail from Havana, Cuba, aiming to navigate through the treacherous waters of the Florida Straits before reaching the safety of the Atlantic Ocean. However, shortly after their departure, a powerful hurricane, now known as the 1715 Spanish Plate Fleet hurricane, struck the fleet, wreaking havoc on the heavily laden vessels.
The hurricane's destructive force caused most of the ships to sink, scattering their valuable cargo along the coastline from present-day St. Lucie Inlet to Cape Canaveral. Only one ship, the Nuestra Señora de la Regla, managed to survive the storm and reach Havana.
