Gold, I have registered a San Cristobal, captain Rodrigo Alonso, shipwrecked in Abrojos. 120 tons according to Pierre Chaunu's information (but surely had many more). Are we speaking of the same San Cristobal?

Hun,
That treatise is for The United States area, and only covers years from 1760's to 1800's.

The question was answered in the first reply.

Abrojos = Silver banks

Perhaps Weber or Tracy Bowden could take a peak while they are there. Maybe there are some other sites you could point out to them.
