Does anyone know where there may be a chart or listing of all the Spanish treasure fleets (Atlantic)?
I know that 1702's fleet was attacked, as was 1708. 1711 sank in a storm, & of course 1715's fleet was shipwrecked on Florida's shores.
When was the last successful trans-Atlantic treasure fleet before 1702?
If anyone knows a source for some of this data, I'm willing to put together (& share) a comprehensive chart. Would love to include year, captains, ship info, cargo value, etc. + its final status:
thwarted by attack (by whom)
sunk (where)
arrived (Cadiz or other port in Spain)
(I'd be interested in Manila Galleons as well.)
