LANDING of
Ponce most likely occurred at Ormand By The Sea
shortly after making landfall one league from shore
at nine fathoms. He then sailed north for a short
distance searching for a harbor before turning
south and anchoring in an inlet named Mosquito
on old maps but now known as Ponce de Leon Inlet.
Only other spot meeting the unique league-depth
relationship is off Crescent Beach, but it is too
near St. Augustine to permit a sail north without
discovering ít. (Sketch prepared from National Ocean Survey Chart 11486, vertical scale compressed) 29° 16' |
