The group contacted archaeologists to ascertain the significance of the discovery, and it was soon determined to be a Spanish ship dating to the 1500’s. The investigation of the shipwreck was entrusted to the author, working for the Mel Fisher Maritime Heritage Society (MFMHS), a not-for-profit research center based in Key West, Florida. Under the agreement, the collection of recovered materials will remain as an intact collection housed in both Key West and The Bahamas. Between 1992 and 1999, the MFMHS conducted six excavations to examine and document the shipwreck. Approximately 1,500 artifacts were recovered, along with many more olive jar sherds, iron fasteners, and barrel hoop fragments. Careful analysis of the materials found on the shipwreck, along with clues provided by the remains of the ship itself, shows that the sizeable vessel sailed between 1555 and 1575 and had touched at Tierra Firme (Colombia and Panama) before sinking during a return voyage to Spain. By comparing the archaeological evidence to the historical record, it becomes clear that the St. Johns shipwreck can be none other than the Santa Clara, a 300-ton Carrera de Indias trader owned by the famed Spanish mariner Pedro Menéndez de Avilés. While returning to Spain in October of 1564, it grounded on a reef in the western Bahamas and could not be freed. Its cargo of silver and the people on board were safely removed to an accompanying ship, and the Santa Clara was abandoned. Santa Clara comes from a time when the Spanish colonial system had largely shifted from the exploration and conquest of the Americas into a new stage of settlement and commercial development. The physical remains of the ship, combined with its history, reveal a material culture in use as the Americas began to be systematically exploited, as well as the sorts of people who sailed with these ships and what they were doing. With the identity and specific circumstances of the shipwreck now known, it can serve as an important touchstone in the understanding of the early Spanish colonial system.

Without the additional vision, effort, and support on many levels, from a number of individuals, groups, and corporations, over a period of years, this investigation could not have been attempted, let alone completed. First and foremost, the men of St. John’s Expeditions, Mr. John P. Browning, Jr., Mr. C.J. “Whitey” Keevan, Mr. Milton “Gene” Evans, and Mr. Richard MacAllister deserve credit for the discovery of this long-lost shipwreck and the direction in which it was taken. It was their decision to keep this piece of history within the public realm. Their patience and perseverance was crucial to any success. The St. Johns shipwreck project has been conducted under the auspices of the government of The Bahamas, and the fieldwork was ably monitored and administered by Mrs. Maureen Wilson of the Ministry of Transport, Mr. Mark Edgar of the Ministry of Finance, and Dr. Grace Turner of the Department of Archives. Petty Officers Leslie Forbes, Derek Richardson, Whitfield “O.B.” Neely, and Rupert Flowers of the Royal Bahamas Defence Force served as field representatives. Dr. Keith Tinker, Dr. Michael Pateman, and Ms. Kim Outten-Stubbs of The Bahamas Antiquities, Monuments, and Museums Corporation have followed the post-fieldwork progress of the project. All have ensured that this research has followed and met the standards of the government of The Bahamas. Material and financial support for the project came from a number of generous sponsors. Thanks go to John P. Browning, Jr., Mel and Dolores Fisher, Kim Fisher, George E. Robb, Jr. of the RPM Specialist Corporation, Hans Schmoldt of Anode Systems, Inc., Gwin “Dick” Whitney, Eric Whitney, Ikelite, Inc., Oceanic Inc., and Sea Resources, Inc. Others who have worked to further this endeavor are Dr. Edgardo Alvarado-Vazquez, Korinn Braden, Lyle Buss, James Crandall, Dr. Amerigo Falciani, Cameron Hutchins, Blake Johnston, Dr. Eugene Lyon, Courtney Platt, Dr. Sylvia Scudder, Dr. Roger Smith, KC Smith, Dr. Elizabeth Wing, Lower Keys Medical Center Radiology Department, the staff of Jack Tar Marina, Robert and Grace Rhinehart, Dick Schutz, the staff of the Star Hotel, the crew of R/V Stenella, and the crew of R/V Wren of Aln. The men and women of the various field crews who participated in the excavation of this ship endured many long days and nights, both above and below the water, for what often seemed to be a nebulous goal. Thanks to Michael “White” Bassett, Monica Brook, Robert Cummings, Ed Hinkle, Jeff Keiser, Dylan Kibler, Don Kincaid, John M. Leeper, Abraham López Cruz, Rachel S. McGraw, Anne Meyers, Janice Mitchell, David D. Moore, Mira Negron, Joy Rech, Robert Scott, Cristian Swanson, Heather Swanson, and Vincent Trotta for giving their all. Thanks to the staff of the Mel Fisher Maritime Heritage Society, especially Executive Director Melissa Kendrick and former Executive Director Dr. Madeleine Burnside, both of whom always supported the years of research and made sure the bills were paid. A very special thanks to Conservator Monica Brook for such exacting work in bringing the artifacts back to life, and to Registrar Dylan Kibler for making sure the collection is always in good order. You are as much a part of this work as anyone. Finally, to my family – Lisa, Cameron, Robert, and Alexandra – thank you for understanding when I was maybe too focused on events from centuries ago. Your love and support have been key to this work. 5 Table of Contents Copyright Statement ...………………………………………………………………………………………….....………………………….….............2 Abstract........................................................................................................................................................................3 Acknowledgements……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….................4 Chapters........................................................................................................................................................5 List of Tables…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..5 List of Figures .............................................................................................................................................................6 Chapters 1 Literature Review……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….15 2 Discovery and Excavation of the St. Johns Shipwreck………………………………………………………………………….50 3 Hull Structure, Rigging, and Ballast……………………………………………………………………………………………………..76 4 Artillery…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….110 5 Harquebuses…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….153 6 Crossbows…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………169 7 Pole Arms………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….195 8 Swords and Daggers…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………205 9 Armour…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….218 10 Hand Tools……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..225 11 Ceramics…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………235 12 Glassware……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….270 13 Coins and Silver………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………279 14 Fauna and Flora………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………290 15 Miscellaneous Objects…...………………………………………………………………………………………………………………300 16 The Identification of the St. Johns Shipwreck………………………………………………………………………………….323 17 An Account of the 1563-1564 Tierra Firme Fleet…………………………………………………………………………….347 18 Conclusions and Future Research……………………………………………………………………………………………………370 Bibliography…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………374 List of Tables Table 3.1.

It challenges the notion of a “great divide” between Republic and Revolution by tracing contentious interactions between technocrats, politicians, and financial elites on one hand, and mobilized, mostly-Afro-descended tenants and shantytown residents on the other hand. The dynamics of housing inequality in Havana not only reflected existing socio- racial hierarchies but also produced and reconfigured them in ways that have not been systematically researched.

  • Trade, War and Empire: British Merchants in Cuba, 1762-17961
    Nikolaus Böttcher Trade, War and Empire: British Merchants in Cuba, 1762-17961 In the late afternoon of 4 March 1762 the British war fleet left the port of Spithead near Portsmouth with the order to attack and conquer “the Havanah”, Spain’s main port in the Caribbean. The decision for the conquest was taken after the new Spanish King, Charles III, had signed the Bourbon family pact with France in the summer of 1761. George III declared war on Spain on 2 January of the following year. The initiative for the campaign against Havana had been promoted by the British Prime Minister William Pitt, the idea, however, was not new. During the “long eighteenth century” from the Glorious Revolution to the end of the Napoleonic era Great Britain was in war during 87 out of 127 years. Europe’s history stood under the sign of Britain’s aggres­ sion and determined struggle for hegemony. The main enemy was France, but Spain became her major ally, after the Bourbons had obtained the Spanish Crown in the War of the Spanish Succession. It was in this period, that America became an arena for the conflict between Spain, France and England for the political leadership in Europe and economic predominance in the colonial markets. In this conflict, Cuba played a decisive role due to its geographic location and commercial significance. To the Spaniards, the island was the “key of the Indies”, which served as the entry to their mainland colonies with their rich resources of precious metals and as the meeting-point for the Spanish homeward-bound fleet.

  • Fronts in the World Ocean's Large Marine Ecosystems. ICES CM 2007
    - 1 - This paper can be freely cited without prior reference to the authors International Council ICES CM 2007/D:21 for the Exploration Theme Session D: Comparative Marine Ecosystem of the Sea (ICES) Structure and Function: Descriptors and Characteristics Fronts in the World Ocean’s Large Marine Ecosystems Igor M. Belkin and Peter C. Cornillon Abstract. Oceanic fronts shape marine ecosystems; therefore front mapping and characterization is one of the most important aspects of physical oceanography. Here we report on the first effort to map and describe all major fronts in the World Ocean’s Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs). Apart from a geographical review, these fronts are classified according to their origin and physical mechanisms that maintain them. This first-ever zero-order pattern of the LME fronts is based on a unique global frontal data base assembled at the University of Rhode Island. Thermal fronts were automatically derived from 12 years (1985-1996) of twice-daily satellite 9-km resolution global AVHRR SST fields with the Cayula-Cornillon front detection algorithm. These frontal maps serve as guidance in using hydrographic data to explore subsurface thermohaline fronts, whose surface thermal signatures have been mapped from space. Our most recent study of chlorophyll fronts in the Northwest Atlantic from high-resolution 1-km data (Belkin and O’Reilly, 2007) revealed a close spatial association between chlorophyll fronts and SST fronts, suggesting causative links between these two types of fronts. Keywords: Fronts; Large Marine Ecosystems; World Ocean; sea surface temperature. Igor M.

About fifteen of these become tropical depressions, areas of low pressure with closed wind patterns. Of the fifteen, ten become tropical storms, and six become hurricanes. Every five years, one of the hurricanes will become reach category five status, normally in the western Atlantic or western Caribbean. About every fifty years, one of these extremely intense hurricanes will strike the United States, with disastrous consequences. Texas has seen its share of hurricane activity over the many years it has been inhabited. Nearly five hundred years ago, unlucky Spanish explorers learned firsthand what storms along the coast of the Lone Star State were capable of. Despite these setbacks, Spaniards set down roots across Mexico and Texas and started colonies. Galleons filled with gold and other treasures sank to the bottom of the Gulf, off such locations as Padre and Galveston Islands.

  • Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930S
    Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Ariel Mae Lambe All rights reserved ABSTRACT Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe This dissertation shows that during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) diverse Cubans organized to support the Spanish Second Republic, overcoming differences to coalesce around a movement they defined as antifascism. Hundreds of Cuban volunteers—more than from any other Latin American country—traveled to Spain to fight for the Republic in both the International Brigades and the regular Republican forces, to provide medical care, and to serve in other support roles; children, women, and men back home worked together to raise substantial monetary and material aid for Spanish children during the war; and longstanding groups on the island including black associations, Freemasons, anarchists, and the Communist Party leveraged organizational and publishing resources to raise awareness, garner support, fund, and otherwise assist the cause. The dissertation studies Cuban antifascist individuals, campaigns, organizations, and networks operating transnationally to help the Spanish Republic, contextualizing these efforts in Cuba’s internal struggles of the 1930s. It argues that both transnational solidarity and domestic concerns defined Cuban antifascism. First, Cubans confronting crises of democracy at home and in Spain believed fascism threatened them directly. Citing examples in Ethiopia, China, Europe, and Latin America, Cuban antifascists—like many others—feared a worldwide menace posed by fascism’s spread.

  • ASTRA MILITARUM SOLDIERS of the IMPERIUM These Datasheets Allow You to Fight Apocalypse Battles with Your Astra Militarum Miniatures
    ASTRA MILITARUM SOLDIERS OF THE IMPERIUM These datasheets allow you to fight Apocalypse battles with your Astra Militarum miniatures. Each datasheet includes the characteristics profiles of the unit it describes, as well as any wargear and special abilities it may have. KEYWORDS Throughout these datasheets you will come across the <Regiment> keyword. This is shorthand for a keyword of your choosing, as described below. <REGIMENT> Most Astra Militarum units are drawn from a regiment. Some datasheets specify which regiment the unit is drawn from (e.g. Mukaali Riders have the Tallarn keyword, so are drawn from the Tallarn Regiment), but where a datasheet does not, it will have the <Regiment> keyword. When you include such a unit in your army, you must nominate which regiment that unit is from. You then simply replace the <Regiment> keyword in every instance on that unit’s datasheet with the name of your chosen regiment. For example, if you were to include an Atlas Recovery Tank in your army, and you decided it was from Vostroya, its <Regiment> Faction keyword is changed to Vostroyan and its Recovery Vehicle ability would then read: ‘At the end of the Action phase, this unit can to repair one friendly Vostroyan Vehicle unit in base contact with it. If it does, remove one damage marker from that Vehicle unit. Only one attempt to repair each unit can be made each turn.’ ATLAS RECOVERY TANK 5 An Atlas Recovery Tank is a unit that contains 1 model.

  • Comparison of Spanish Colonization—Latin America and the Philippines
    Title: Comparison of Spanish Colonization—Latin America and the Philippines Teacher: Anne Sharkey, Huntley High School Summary: This lesson took part as a comparison of the different aspects of the Spanish maritime empires with a comparison of Spanish colonization of Mexico & Cuba to that of the Philippines. The lessons in this unit begin with a basic understanding of each land based empire of the time period 1450-1750 (Russia, Ottomans, China) and then with a movement to the maritime transoceanic empires (Spain, Portugal, France, Britain). This lesson will come after the students already have been introduced to the Spanish colonial empire and the Spanish trade systems through the Atlantic and Pacific. Through this lesson the students will gain an understanding of Spanish systems of colonial rule and control of the peoples and the territories. The evaluation of causes of actions of the Spanish, reactions to native populations, and consequences of Spanish involvement will be discussed with the direct correlation between the social systems and structures created, the influence of the Christian missionaries, the rebellions and conflicts with native populations between the two locations in the Latin American Spanish colonies and the Philippines. Level: High School Content Area: AP World History, World History, Global Studies Duration: Lesson Objectives: Students will be able to: Compare the economic, political, social, and cultural structures of the Spanish involvement in Latin America with the Spanish involvement with the Philippines Compare the effects of mercantilism on Latin America and the Philippines Evaluate the role of the encomienda and hacienda system on both regions Evaluate the influence of the silver trade on the economies of both regions Analyze the creation of a colonial society through the development of social classes—Peninsulares, creoles, mestizos, mulattos, etc.
