Book Description
The Sunshine State has a rich maritime history spanning more than five centuries. Tragically, part of that history includes thousands of ships that have met their fates in Florida waters. Potentially more than 5,000 shipwrecks reside off Florida's 1,200 miles of coastline, with hundreds more lost in the state's interior rivers. In and of itself, the Florida Keys archipelago, consisting of approximately 1,700 islands stretching 200 miles, is littered with the remains of close to 1,000 shipwrecks. In fact, many features of the Florida Keys were named after various shipwreck events, such as Fowey Rocks, which earned its name after the 1748 wrecking of the British warship HMS Fowey, and Alligator Reef, where the schooner USS Alligator met her demise in 1822. Florida's Shipwrecks utilizes captivating images to illustrate dramatic stories of danger and peril at sea, introducing readers to a fascinating cross-section of Florida's shipwreck history.

Book Description
Archaeological surveys and interpretive efforts rely upon personal observations and second-hand sources—historical documentation, oral histories, and eye-witness accounts— for information about shipwreck events. These sources frequently lack quantifiable certainty. The proposed methodology uses recent wind and ocean current data from the Florida Keys as inputs to simulate shipwreck debris from the site of La Capitana el Rubi, flagship of the 1733 Spanish Treasure Fleet. The results of the simulation demonstrate that the shipwrecked vessel's scatter pattern is consistent with the location's mean ambient environmental conditions and is likely consistent with conditions on site during the summer and fall of 1733, when Spanish shipwreck salvors worked to recover material from the sunken fleet. The simulation results demonstrate shipwreck materials likely drifted further from the site than archaeological investigations have previously documented and rule out the 1733 hurricane as the primary cause of the present scatter pattern.
