Early Florida

Found these on the internet (what a surprise). The first is a slide show of boats on the rivers in the late 1800's. The second link shows old maps of early Florida. Enjoy!

Great links!! I especially appreciate the slides. In the early slides there is a boat, the "Princess Isena". On Seabreeze in Daytona there was a "Princess Isena" hotel, a grand old wooden hotel.

Makes you wonder what happened to those wonderful old boats. Were they scrapped? Did they sink in the shallows and slowly disappear? I've got those slides on Powerpoint which are full screen and much better visually but I dont know have to attach here or link. If anyone wants the pps. let me know and I can email.
