FYI...the wreck listed in 1706 as being lost in Pensacola has been found in Pensacola Bay just north of Santa Rosa Island. However, the wreck actually happened in 1705, not 1706.

Pcola, sometimes is difficult to determine the dates, because I find a document that takes to deduce that the shipwreck happened in a certain year. Some non deliberate error can have. I'm sorry.

yes the document that list its Loss: offically is dated 1706 it often took a good bit of time for news rto reach spain and for things to get "offically" recorded -- nothing odd about that at all--- a 1705 actual date of sinking but not "offically" recorded until 1706 ---perfectly understandible if one thinks of the times it occured in and the way things were back then.

Ivan, do you know the month? Because if it happened in December, sometimes reported the lost the following year. The same Fernandez Duro falls in this error.

great stuff relic dude --- late 1705 year wreck --"offically" recorded in 1706 by the offical recorders in spain --took quite some time for word to spread -- word had to go from pensacola to havana to the govenor of cuba ( then from the govenor of cuba) then it would go to the viceroy of mexico -- amd then come back thru a vessel headed to spain-- (this was because of the chain of command spain had set up ) pensacola answered to cuba --cuba answered to mexico --mexico to the king -- thus it had to follow the chain of command *---if the viceroy of mexico was cut out of the "loop" and a message was sent from pensacola to cuba and then spain --there would be hell to pay for who ever sent the message from pensacola or cuba once the viceroy got wind of it. "unoffical" messages were frowned on heavily --- the system HAD to be followed --or else the viceroy of mexico would look foolish when the king ask for details of a certain wreck and he went wreck --what wreck? --the viceroy couldn't have that now could he?
