This is located next to where two bronze cannons and lots of artifacts were found years before. It is believed that this is the wreck of the "La Viette".   What do you guys think?  If you ...

• Re: 1796 American Coast Pilot

  
  TreasureNet Forum — Authority: 177
  I think in 1796 that the most commonly used map datum was the Greenwich prime Meridian. Today we use WGS-84 which is based on a different location.  "The coordinate origin of WGS 84 is meant to be located at the Earths center of mass; the error is believed to be less than 2 cm.[1] In WGS 84, the meridian of zero ...

  They used a completely different datum than we use today. Bernard Romans map of 1775 is the same way... he has the latitude for Indian River inlet at 27 20" but today its around 27 30". I am not for certain the datum they used in 1796 but i am sure with a little research it could be found.  The coast pilot should ...

  I never intended on impeding on the decorum of this site by my posting on Seafarer Exploration. I find Treasure Net one of the best of its kind available on the web. It’s informative, insightful and brings together the treasure hunting community from across the globe. I do have to disagree with one statement of ...

  oh there is no doubt that the french vessel griffion was "forced" to sail with the fleet to prevent "news" leaks to pirate types -- their only choices were sail with the fleet or sit two additional weeks "in port" in havana before departing --easy choice for the french capt -- as the storm was approaching Im quite ...
