Sixteenth-century France was a vigorous, expansionist nation emerging from feudalism and dreaming of empire. In May 1565, a French fleet under command of Jean Ribault assembled to re-supply the nascent colony of La Caroline in present-day Jacksonville, Florida. Within weeks of its departure, the Spanish king sent Pedro Menéndez to intercept Ribault and eradicate La Caroline. With the aid of a fierce storm that wrecked Ribault’s four largest ships, Spanish forces would deal the deathblow to French Florida. In July 2014, LAMP will launch an expedition to search for the lost French fleet in the waters of Canaveral National Seashore.
