1715 Fleet Passenger Recovery Vessel

[TM104A]

Does anyone know the name of the ship that was sent to recover the Vips from the 1715 wrecks? I understand that it was sent by the Governor of Havana and it also sunk around Amelia Island.

Wait...is that what the Barcolounger recliner was named after?

A barcolongo was a type of vessel like a galleon or nao, not he name of the vessel.

Thanks Bill for the chuckle and Pete for straightening me out on barcolongo being a type of ship, not the name.
Always great info and help at "Shipwrecks".

barcalongo is roughly what the english would call a bark or barkentine -- a fast smallish sailing vessel
