The ships had left Mexico returning to Spain by way of Havana. They were driven ashore not by the dreaded hurricanes of fall, but by the deadly equinoctials that haunt the Gulf of Mexico in April. These sudden and lasting storms often contributed to the island's reputation as a graveyard. The coast at this point was treacherous and deserted. Spain had not yet settled this part of the empire of New Spain. It was a place to lose ships and lives as well as treasure. The shipwreck touched off an immediate salvage and rescue operation by Spanish officials, and other events lasting to the present: beachcombing, treasure hunt, court fights over artifact ownership and scientifically directed archaeology and conservation. Much of the ships' remains are now the property of the people of Texas. This publication is designed to accompany an exhibition which will make the 1554 treasures from Texas tidelands accessible to the public for the first time. Parker, Harry (drawings) (illustrator).…
