ALABAMA ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY'S "LA TRINITE AND FRENCH COLONIZATION IN THE NEW WORLD"

Join the Alabama Archaeological Society for La Trinite and French Colonization in the New World on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. at the USA Archaeology Museum. In 2016, the shipwreck of the La Trinité, the “single most historically important shipwreck in North America,” was discovered by a salvage company not far off Cape Canaveral, Florida. The three-masted, 32-gun La Trinité, propelled by both oars and sail, sunk in a hurricane off Florida with three other French vessels in 1565 during the race to colonize the New World. The French government made an admiralty claim for the vessel which was granted in 2018 under the Sunken Military Craft Act. The French government can now proceed to conserve the wreck and preserve our mutual heritage. This is free to the public.
