Sunken Ships
This disaster is considered one of the world’s worst disasters at sea in history. Seven hundred sailors went down with the 11 ships, along with the 14 million pesos worth of precious metals and jewels. The evidence of this disaster is still evident today on Florida’s coastline.
The Location of the Shipwreck
It seems that the ships sunk close by to Vero Beach. This beach is located within the Indian River county parameters. However, remnants of these ships have landed on the shores of beaches as far as 40 miles away, all of this area making the Treasure Coast.
