Hello everyone, after days of research I think I found my 1st ship of 12 Spanish Galleons sunk in my area.
The manifest says it was a 2 mast galleon around 46 feet in length.
Here is a picture for everyone to look at.
Does this look like a 200 year old Spanish galleon to you guys ?
Can anyone confirm this looks roughly 46 feet in size ?
Peace and good luck to you all !

No... it is not a Spanish Galleon.
Of course this opinion is just that... an opinion.

Some people in this world value it... but hey,,, take it for what it is here.
 

Just so you know.... you will not see something like the objects you are picturing.
In fact you would see little to nothing and definitely nothing from a satellite view.
Most of any wooden ship from that period would be long deteriorated and gone.

Therefore,,,, no ship looking structure would be there to see.

Hi guys, thanks ARC for your reply, it's in 200 years of glacial silt, nose down, stern up.
Yes Don, it looks to be 30-50 feet of water. But I don't have a depth chart of the area.
I have a side scan sonar, 50 feet of dive hooka hose, and I'm trying to get a magnotometer now and a submersible drone.
Planning a trip hopefully before winter rolls in to dive on it.

Thanks guys, I will.
Hoping to come back to Florida next year with a mailbox blower boat to join you guys in Florida and Carl Allen in Walkers Key.

Thanks RJ, I thinks so too.
The draft was said to be 3.6 meters and a 14 meter hull length.
If you take a ruler to the picture and shadows its a match 👍
Plus it was said to be a 2 mast ship. Also a match.
