At the height of the Spanish Empire, convoys of tall ships braved the seas hauling resources and treasure on transatlantic trade routes fraught with peril, especially during the summer months when hurricanes could develop without warning. In one of the worst maritime disasters ever recorded, the 1733 Hurricane descended upon part of Spain's West Indies Fleet led by the Capitana El Rubi Segundo ravaging the fleet against the Florida Reef paralleling the Florida Keys. This is her story; one that was lost until 1938 when she was rediscovered by a commercial fisherman.
