How is the cleaning of my beer can find coming?
I have been away from my computer for about three weeks and when
I got back home I didn't find any mention of my beer can cleaning
(including pics). Did the State of Florida substitute my tremendous
find with one of lesser quality already in their vaults in Tallahassee?
Keep me posted?

Some research that may be of interest:
Historical research based on documents from
the Archivo General de Indias. Sevilla, Spain
Victoria Stapells Johnson
September 2006
In our archival search to identify the name of the “Jupiter wreck”, the starting point in the Spanish archives was the section Contratación ( issues related to trade with the Indies) and specifically: the Libros de Registros for the time period of the mid 17th century. In these bound volumes are the names of many (but not all) of the ships which plied back and forth across the Atlantic during the years of the Carrera de Indias. In most cases, there is a note in the margin beside a ship which wrecked in the course of a journey. As regards the ship at Jupiter Inlet, silver and gold coins and particularly a silver bar marked no. 820 found at the site, indicate a point of departure from Tierra Firme. Hence, the ports of Cartagena and Portobelo were checked most carefully. In this initial stage of research, there is no evidence to suggest this wreck being of a ship returning to Spain from Mexico.
Of the ships which meet the profile for the “Jupiter Wreck” based on the document search at the Archivo General de Indias, six are “aviso” ships. By decree of the crown in 1525, avisos were the ships designated to carry official correspondence back and forth between Spain and her over seas colonies. Two courier or aviso ships were despatched each year from Spain to Nueva España (Mexico) and Tierra Firme (north coast of South America). Small ships which generally did not exceed 100 toneladas, these vessels were capable of sailing quickly and efficiently. Aboard, they carried all manner of crown documents to the colonies. On the way back to Spain they carried a variety of papers: correspondence from the colonial treasury accounts, court cases, reports from the Viceroys, court cases, religious correspondence and so on. Another very important part of an aviso’s job was to inform the authorities of the presence of lurking enemy ships ready to attack the treasure laden fleets returning from the Indies. Passengers were not allowed on board officially although there were plenty of exceptions. Of course avisos also carried some cargo: on the way out from Spain, this would include items needed in the colonies such as wine, oil, wax, textiles and funds for garrison payrolls. Iron work or tools were taken as ballast. On the return trip, one can imagine that a certain amount of contraband was loaded on these ships in the form of silver or gold. This was common practice on all ships during the colonial time period.
In the time frame of the Jupiter wreck, there were FOUR ships which sailed as avisos and appear to have wrecked on their return trip to Spain from Tierra Firme ports.
SAN FRANCISCO Y SAN ANTONIO
In 1657 Bernardo Somoza requested that his ship, the San Francisco y San Antonio of 60 toneladas cargo capacity and built in Seville (Spain) be granted a license to sail to Tierra Firme as an aviso (courier ship). The outgoing manifest for this ship is in the section Contratación of the Archivo General de Indias. In it, there is information on the ship, artillery, ship fittings and a complete crew list as you will read in the transcription and translation included further on in this report. This aviso left Seville in February 1658 for the ports of Cartagena and Portobelo. There is no evidence that it returned.
Note: there is another San Francisco Y San Antonio which sailed to Caracas with the Tierra Firme galleons under the marqués de Villarubia in 1658. This was a Dutch ship, 267 toneladas, her owner was Manuel Bozardo. It returned to Spain safely.

SAN FRANCISCO Y SAN DIEGO
In the fall of 1659, this aviso sailed to Tierra Firme. The owner of the San Francisco y San Diego was Francisco Velazquez del Campo. This ship had been built in Jamaica and at 235 toneladas, was quite a bit bigger than Bernardo Somoza´s ship. It was considered to be a good strong ship for the trip but we know nothing about her return journey.

SAN MIGUEL ARCANGEL
Despatched by the Viceroy of Peru, the San Miguel Arcangel sailed as primer aviso under Juan Ramirez de Miranda, pilot Diego García and Captain Juan de Ostalaca from Portobelo for Spain on September 18, 1659. Six and half months later, the ship had not arrived in Spain and was feared to have wrecked. It was decided to send duplicates of all the correspondence on the next aviso to Spain in April 1660. On the backside of the letter there is a scribbled note “ The aviso ship under Juan Ramirez de Miranda wrecked on the coast of Florida” Included with this document is another longer report (23 pages) entitled “Testimonio sobre el despacho del navío San Miguel Arcangel que se despachó de aviso a los reinos de España por el Virrey del Perú a cargo de Juan Ramirez de Miranda” This deals with the financing and preparation of the ship to sail to Spain and there is no reference to what happened to it after leaving Portobelo. A list of the boxes of correspondence loaded on the ship is included. Nevertheless, it should be read through carefully in case there is any information on the ship itself. Juan Ramirez appears to have been a notable in Portobelo. In 1661, he was named notary of the city of Portobelo. It is suggested that further research on this man might shed some light on the aviso because he undoubtedly had cargo on board.

This aviso under Juan Bautista de Echevarría, sailed from Portobelo and was last seen in the Bahama Channel (Straits of Florida). The ship was leaking and was feared to have been lost in a storm. On its return trip to Spain, first it had sailed from Portobelo to Havana and then set off from the Cuban port on March 3, 1661
Source: A.G.I. – Indiferente 1182
In the different Audiencias (colonial government papers) of the archives, there is mention of two or three avisos which sank in this time period but for which we have no name:
- 33 men survived the wreck of this courier ship off the coast of Gega, Florida in 1659
Source: A.G.I. - Santo Domingo 233
- An aviso sailed from Portobelo on July 25, 1660 and wrecked “off the coast of Florida”. It is possible that this is the same ship as the one at Gega
Source: A.G.I. – Panama 22
- Mention of an aviso “which was lost” in a letter dated Panama, May 27 1659.

There is also a “ situado “ ship for which we have no name either.
- In a letter to the crown from the Governor of Havana dated April 26, 1659 there is mention of a frigate which wrecked while carrying supplies “and some silver” to Florida. This was a “situado ship”, used for carrying crown subsidies for soldiers and garrisons. It is not however clear if the ship sank on leaving Havana en route to Florida or if it wrecked closer to the coast of Florida.
Finally, we also have the names of other ships which were granted permission to sail to the Indies as avisos during the time period 1658 – 1659.

San Mateo, 200 toneladas, 10 cannons. Captain Gerardo Rodríguez

SUMMARY OF DOCUMENT SEARCH WITH REFERENCE TO THE LIMA AND POTOTSI MINTS
One of the most important finds at the wreck site is a magnificent silver bar with the clearly discernible serial number 820 marked on it. Consequently, a brief search was made in the sections Contaduría (accounts section) of the Seville archives in an attempt to identify the mint where the bar was struck and, if possible, the ship on which it was loaded to return to Spain. Whenever possible, archival research attempts to link serial numbers on bars or cannons to the cargo manifests. If a match is made, this information is extremely valuable for ship identification. In the case of the “Jupiter wreck”, much more time must be spent on this aspect of the historical background. The documents seen to date include this information for the study:
- There are a series of documents for the years 1658 -1661 which list the silver bars, coins and gold sent on various armadas and fleets from the Indies back to Spain. The value of the silver and coins is given but no serial numbers have been found. In many cases, the origin of the treasure is given: Potosi or Lima.
- An agreement between the Viceroy of Peru and the Treasury in 1652 (with a copy in 1664) regarding reforms to the mint and the mines at Cayoma. We assume that the orders in this document extended throughout Peru. The document describes how the coinage is to be changed in its weight and value (See A.G.I. Lima 115)
- There are many documents relating to the inspection of the mine at Potosí. As of 1634, there were various attempts to inspect and revise the mint at Potosí. Don Juna de Palacios who was the official in charge states (in an undated document) that “ the disorder of the coins minted at Potosi continued to such an extent that the foreign nations complained to H.M.
( See A.G.I. Contaduría 1818A)
A letter from the government at Quito dated July 3, 1653 describes the value of the coins being minted, the legislation implemented by Viceroy Salvatierra ot Peru and how these are to be marked. It is probable that these orders in the treasury relayed by the Viceroy were implemented throughout the kingdom. (See A.G. I. Contaduria)

Future research
As can be seen by this impressive list of candidates for the “Jupiter Wreck”, considerably more research needs to be done before positively naming this ship. Once we have identified the ship, it is hoped that we can find the manifest and description of the ship and its fittings. To date, the only manifest we have is for the San Francisco y San Antonio sailing to Tierra Firme. Ideally, it would be of great interest to find a narrative of the event by survivors. Unfortunately, compared to silver fleets or armada galleons, there is scant information regarding avisos which wrecked during the Spanish colonial period. In the archival documentation, the reference is quite often only that the ship “sank” or “is missing”. As there were always duplicate copies of official documents, these were inevitably sent on the next aviso returning or sailing to the colonies. Avisos with cargoes of monies understandably received more attention. Nonetheless, with this introductory report, we have a working list of ships so as to continue looking for a match for the wreck found at Jupiter Inlet.

- In a letter to the crown from the Governor of Havana dated April 26, 1659 there is mention of a frigate which wrecked while carrying supplies “and some silver” to Florida. This was a “situado ship”, used for carrying crown subsidies for soldiers and garrisons. It is not however clear if the ship sank on leaving Havana en route to Florida or if it wrecked closer to the coast of Florida.
Finally, we also have the names of other ships which were granted permission to sail to the Indies as avisos during the time period 1658 – 1659.
San Francisco de Paula, 130 toneladas. Diego García de la Parra
San Mateo, 200 toneladas, 10 cannons. Captain Gerardo Rodríguez

SUMMARY OF DOCUMENT SEARCH WITH REFERENCE TO THE LIMA AND POTOTSI MINTS
One of the most important finds at the wreck site is a magnificent silver bar with the clearly discernible serial number 820 marked on it. Consequently, a brief search was made in the sections Contaduría (accounts section) of the Seville archives in an attempt to identify the mint where the bar was struck and, if possible, the ship on which it was loaded to return to Spain. Whenever possible, archival research attempts to link serial numbers on bars or cannons to the cargo manifests. If a match is made, this information is extremely valuable for ship identification. In the case of the “Jupiter wreck”, much more time must be spent on this aspect of the historical background. The documents seen to date include this information for the study:
- There are a series of documents for the years 1658 -1661 which list the silver bars, coins and gold sent on various armadas and fleets from the Indies back to Spain. The value of the silver and coins is given but no serial numbers have been found. In many cases, the origin of the treasure is given: Potosi or Lima.
- An agreement between the Viceroy of Peru and the Treasury in 1652 (with a copy in 1664) regarding reforms to the mint and the mines at Cayoma. We assume that the orders in this document extended throughout Peru. The document describes how the coinage is to be changed in its weight and value (See A.G.I. Lima 115)
- There are many documents relating to the inspection of the mine at Potosí. As of 1634, there were various attempts to inspect and revise the mint at Potosí. Don Juna de Palacios who was the official in charge states (in an undated document) that “ the disorder of the coins minted at Potosi continued to such an extent that the foreign nations complained to H.M.
( See A.G.I. Contaduría 1818A)
A letter from the government at Quito dated July 3, 1653 describes the value of the coins being minted, the legislation implemented by Viceroy Salvatierra ot Peru and how these are to be marked. It is probable that these orders in the treasury relayed by the Viceroy were implemented throughout the kingdom. (See A.G. I. Contaduria)

Future research
As can be seen by this impressive list of candidates for the “Jupiter Wreck”, considerably more research needs to be done before positively naming this ship. Once we have identified the ship, it is hoped that we can find the manifest and description of the ship and its fittings. To date, the only manifest we have is for the San Francisco y San Antonio sailing to Tierra Firme. Ideally, it would be of great interest to find a narrative of the event by survivors. Unfortunately, compared to silver fleets or armada galleons, there is scant information regarding avisos which wrecked during the Spanish colonial period. In the archival documentation, the reference is quite often only that the ship “sank” or “is missing”. As there were always duplicate copies of official documents, these were inevitably sent on the next aviso returning or sailing to the colonies. Avisos with cargoes of monies understandably received more attention. Nonetheless, with this introductory report, we have a working list of ships so as to continue looking for a match for the wreck found at Jupiter Inlet.

Seahunter, good to hear from you, hope you had a good Christmas, and best wishes for the new year.
Nope, do they offer any type of training with the deal? My guess is that its going to be record interpretation thats going to require some patience and practice. How did the vessel hunt go?

Brad

Hi Brad
Scotty and I traveled the country looking at all kinds of vessels, shrimp boats, barges, landing crafts, crew boats, you name it. From Maine to Texas to Louisiana to Alabama and both coasts of Florida. I bought a motorhome and we just traveled all the port cities looking at boats. I am going to end up buying a twin diesel fifty foot landing craft that we can put a knuckleboom and all the other neccesary pumps and compressors on and use this year while we have a two story seventy foot twin diesel barge built, basically a big jack up rig, that we can house six or eight crew members on.
Well the stratabox just got here so I am going to see how it works. I will keep you updated.

HI Seahunter,
Do you have an appromate timeframe that it will take you to refit the landing craft. Trying to work out my leave schedule with the office so I can come down an join you for some diving. Also what is the best time to come down, due to the hurricane season that affects your area.
Let me know as I would like to join you and the rest of the diver on this adventure.

SeaHunter,
I want to thank you again for starting this thread, which has been one of the most interesting we have had on TreasureNet (at least while I have been participating).
I hope, and am sure that, 2007 will be an interesting and productive one for you, and I look forward to many more, interesting postings from you, and from the people who are lucky enough to share the experience in person with you. Your generosity in allowing others to share in your adventure is wonderful.

Hi Don
The best and most predictable weather for diving is basically May through October ands we should be up and running with a fulltime crew on at least two boats by May. Let me know when you are thinking of coming.
Mariner
Thankyou for the kind words. I get most of my enjoyment doing this through sharing with others.I feel lucky to be able to do this and want to share it.

You are more than welcome to join us whenever you are here.

Thank you. You are to kind. I am really not that generous. You see the more people I share it with the more fun I have. Actually kind of selfish. This year I probably met twenty, no thirty of the best people I could ever hope to meet and we had a great time. I just can't get enough of it. . I look forward to everyone joining us, in whatever way they can, this year and for many years to come.
Let's all have some fun!!!
