Vol. 1 No. 1 (2021): Maritime accident in Cayo Triángulos: The last moments of a ship from the times of the conquest?

The first European explorers who with their ships navigated the Bank of Campeche, Gulf of Mexico, had to cross its sinuous banks, cays and reefs, where naval accidents were frequent. In particular, the keys known as Triangles shelter the remains of ships from different eras and origins, which share characteristics indicative of the attempt of their crews to avoid a fatal end. Among them, Vera Moya Sordo studies an archaeological site that is evidence of the passage through the area of one of the first Spanish ships.
