Chuck Meide, a maritime archaeologist and director of the archeological program for the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime Museum, estimates that there are roughly 5,000 shipwrecks in coastal waters around the state, a legacy that dates back to July 31, 1715. That’s when a hurricane slammed the central coast near Sebastian Inlet, sinking 11 Spanish ships that were passing through on their way back from Havana. The disaster claimed the lives of more than a thousand people and left millions of pesos of gold and jewels scattered undersea, some of which were found by treasure hunter Kip Wagner and his team in the 1960s.
