    Re: Need Some help I.D. Shipwrecks on maps?

    That wreck on the north riff is the galleon Conception that sank in 1644. After Phipps salvaged in 1685, Burt Webber salvaged it in 1970 and Tracy Bowden worked it in 1990. I doubt if there is anything left.
    Those charts are notoriously inaccurate. Burt Webber had that one but it still took him 2 years to
    find it.

    The wreck south of skeeter inlet(ponce inlet now) is william bartrams wreck at 3rd ave in new smyrna beach.No treasure.And what was remained of the upper deck is now at the city dump.Theres 3 passenger steamer wrecks at ponce inlet.And 1 military steamer that ran aground at ponce inlet during the second seminole indian war,had muskets and pay for the soldiers on it.Theres a wreck just north of turtle mound,even with JB's fish camp,dont know what it is but alot of iron is on the beach.Most likely a modern barge or steel wreck offshore.Then theres the wreck where i found my 80lb deadeye,cant tell you where that one is as i keep finding goodies there,last find was the two 3 pronger forks.The wreck south of that at klondike beach,the real 8 worked it.Sigmonops knows more about it.
    Millions of dollars of Spanish treasure await those who would dare brave the eye of the hurricane.

    Excellent map of the Caribbean. I specially like the route of the treasure galleons leaving Cartagena going north. This reminds me of the treasure fleet of 1604 that has never been located yet.

    This map is an excellent clue.
