Boston News-Letter, 12-26-1715
One wonders exactly what "Spanish Wrecks" are referenced here.
Is it a "matter of fact" reference to the 1715 Fleet wrecks we all know and love?
Or is it a "matter of fact" reference to other wrecks located in the Bahamas?
If the former, it would seem the loss of the Spanish flotilla was well known in colonial America at a VERY early date.
