South Florida, 1855

The early maps didn't have GPS so they are way off on size. The coast could be 300 yards off either way or even more. The early maps only give us a close place where the ships went down. A lot of the 1715 fleet coins were found behind the sand dunes so there maybe more further inland...

Thank you for posting.
I had a great time reading about the "I de Sacrificios" west of Campeche after noticing it on this map.

How accurate do you think this map you posted is ? Looks like cape Kennedy is sticking much further out into the ocean,than it is today.

This guy was map maker to King George the 3rd. Made many maps of Florida and up the coast to Canada, very detailed for their time.
Thomas Jefferys 1719 – 1771. He also worked with Captain James Cook another great map maker.
There is a map of the Western Caribbean of what was British Honduras made by Jefferys though i am not certain, which has a wreck marked on the coast for those interested in the fate of the lost ships of the Terra Firma Fleet of 1605.

That would be a dream to be able to just look for those wrecks nice of you to share the maps. Tommy
