GULF ISLANDS NATIONAL SEASHORE ANNOUNCES

SIXTEENTH CENTURY SHIPWREAKS OF PENSACOLA BAY PRESENTATION

FOR HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

 

Gulf Islands National Seashore Superintendent Jerry Eubanks announced today for a special presentation on Sixteen Century Shipwrecks of Pensacola Bay for Hispanic Heritage Month at Naval Live Oaks Visitor Center Auditorium on Thursday October 8 at 5:30 p.m. The public is invited to join Irina Franklin with the University of West Florida and Florida Public Archaeology Network for a program focusing on two shipwrecks in Pensacola Bay from Tristan de Luna’s 1559 fleet.  “Franklin was one of the graduate supervisors who worked on the second shipwreck during the summer of 2008 & 2009. The history and archaeology of these shipwrecks will be shown through narrative and photos,” said Eubanks.

Superintendent Eubanks encourages everyone to visit the Seashore to join us for our Hispanic Heritage presentation.  The program is free. For additional information about this program or other programs offered at the Seashore, call the Naval Live Oaks Visitor Center at (850) 934-2600 or visit our website at www.nps.gov/guis.
