The vessel, set sail from Jamaica in 1696, the ship was wrecked in a storm off the east coast of Florida, landing near Jupiter Island, about 20 miles north of present day West Palm Beach. The party after getting safely ashore, was seized by Indians, and stripped of their clothing and other possessions.
