But didn't you post the article ? You and everyone else have the ships in a totally different location, not even close to American shoal.not even close to Florida. How did the bronze cannon group come up with that one?
Per Fontenada: “Other vessels have been lost, among them the armada of New Spain, of which it
was said the son of Pedro Menendez was General for the Indians took a Spaniard that reached the shore
whom they found starving. And I saw him alive and talked with him and one Juan Rodriguez, a native of
Nicaragua. He told us that they came from New Spain, and were going to Castile; that the General was a
son of Pedro Menendez, the Asturian; that he came as a sailor in another vessel; and that the people of
neither knew any thing of what had befallen the other, until the Indians armed themselves to go to the
coast of Ais, when he saw them go and return with great wealth, in bars of silver and gold, and bags of
reales, and much clothing. As he was newly captured, or found, and understood not the Indians, I and
Juan Rodriguez were the interpreters for this man, and others, as we already knew the language. It was
a consolation, though a sad one, for those who were lost aft er us to find on shore Christi an companions
who could share their hardships and help them to understand those brutes. Many Spaniards have saved
their lives by finding themselves with Christian companions already there.”
