This artifact was recovered from the remains of the Spanish Treasure Fleet lost during a hurricane off Florida’s Atlantic coast in 1715. The fleet carried valuable cargo from the Americas toward Spain before the storm scattered and sank multiple vessels.

A compelling piece of maritime history for collectors of shipwreck material, colonial trade, and early eighteenth-century artifacts. Review the photographs for the object’s individual surface and condition.
