This page last updated: May 20, 2005 S hips of Exploration The most well known shipwrecks in the Gulf of Mexico come from a more recent time period, but ships have sailed these waters since the 16th century. Many of these early vessels foundered or ran aground. Though documentation of their exact location is rarely accurate, several of these wrecks, ranging in date from the 16 th through the 18 th centuries, have been identified throughout the Gulf. Em anuel Point Shipwreck One of the earliest shipwrecks discovered in the Gulf of Mexico was located in Pensacola Bay, Florida, in 1992. The site was identified during a remote sensing survey by archaeologists with the Florida Bureau of Archaeological Research. Over the last nine years researchers from the University of West Florida have conducted underwater excavations of the vessel. They hypothesize that the wreck is the lower hull of a Spanish vessel that dates to the Tristan de Luna expedition of 1559. Analysis of the magnetic signature of this early shipwreck has provided the MMS with valuable comparative data for the review and analysis of shallow hazard and archaeological survey reports. L aSalle Shipwreck Project One of the most significant underwater archaeological finds in North America was made by a team from the Texas Historical Commission (THC) in 1995 in 12 feet of water in Matagorda Bay, Texas. After the team recovered a distinctive bronze cannon bearing the crest of Louis XIV they hypothesized that the vessel was the French ship

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, April 6, 1982 COMMEMORATING THE FRENCH EXPLORER: RENE ROBERT CAVELIER- SIEUR LA SALLE. HON. F. JAMES SENSENBRENNER IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Tuesday, April 6, 1982 Born In 1643, by the age of 31, La Salle had already become the most successful French fur trader in North America, having begun this career in Montreal and eventually monopolizing the fur trade in the Lake Ontario region. In May of 1678, King Louis XIV granted La Salle his consent to explore the Mississippi River to its mouth, along with the right to establish as many forts as he wished. During the ensuing voyages, La Salle set up many trading posts, built the first commercial sailing vessel on Lake Erie, and worked with the Seneca Indians who taught hlm how to make long overland Journeys. When La Salle and his expedition skirted the west shores of Lake Michigan, he stayed overnight in sites presently named Washington Island, Two Rivers, Sheboygan and South Milwaukeeall cities of present day Wisconsin. Being a Representative from the State of Wisconsin, I take added pleasure in making these remarks today. Four years after King Louis granted his authority, La Salle at last saw for the first time the river he had dreamed of for so longthe great Mis- sissippi. Tracing the Mississippi from its joining with the Illinois River to its mouth in the Gulf of Mexico, La Salle thus compIeted the exploration of this mighty river which had begun with the expeditions of his countrymen Louis Jolliet and Father Marquette.

On a cold winter day in 1686, the Belle , flagship of the French explorer La Salle, foundered in Matagorda Bay, the victim of a run of bad luck and a blue norther. The Belle Spates of ill fate continued in succession as La Salle's attempts by land to find the Mississippi failed, and then the Aimable , the largest ship carrying most of the would-be colony's supplies, sunk in Matagorda Bay. To provide a temporary sanctuary and protection from the local Karankawa Indians, who did not take kindly to the French intrusion into their home turf, a small fort was established on the banks of Garcitas Creek above the head of Lavaca Bay. The expedition was further weakened by the departure of the naval vessel, Joly , and its collection of discontented colonists, soldiers, and crew. Meanwhile, La Salle kept widening the search, leaving a small detachment at Fort Saint Louis and a few crewmen on the last remaining ship, the

The story captivated Gurule. It reminded him of his childhood, a time when he thought of himself as Spanish, a time before he knew he descended from a French colonist aboard the illfated mission of Rene Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle. Gurule read the newspaper story closely. He had always been fascinated by his ancestor, who had deserted the tragic expedition and then went on to unintentionally further destroy La Salle's plans. La Salle landed on the Texas coast in 1685, hoping to establish large French families to thwart Spanish expansion. Gurule's ancestor not only abandoned the expedition but and by doing so established what became many generations of primarily Spanish-blood families, the exact opposite of what La Salle intended.

He was 23, alone and, perhaps, spiritually confused. At the encouragement of his brother, who was a priest in Canada, the young man packed a trunk and set sail across the treacherous Atlantic for the New World. In the days preceding planes, trains and automobiles, the young explorer must have hunkered down for a trip he knew could take weeks. Standing on the rolling ship's deck, salty air brushing his cheeks, the man who left France with one powerful friend and hosts of enemies behind him may have felt his excitement grow even as he wrestled with anxiety about his adventure. In 1666, Rene Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle stepped foot on North America, heralding an era of vast exploration that ultimately created the Louisiana Territory and helped shape the area we now know as Kankakee County. LaSalle's story is just one of a number of intriguing nuggets in a new coffee table book, 'French America: French Architecture from Colonialization to the Birth of a Nation.'

Preloading images This Month in Immigration History: February 1848 On February 2, 1848, the United States and Mexico signed the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This Treaty not only formally ended the U.S.-Mexican War but also started the final demarcation of the dividing line between the United States and Mexico. Except for the minor modifications of territory resulting from the 1853 Gadsden Purchase, this was the last major Treaty that set the present day southern borders of the United States. North America before the European discovery had no defined boundaries. Native Americans settled on the land and eventually formed into tribes. Their territories changed with the seasons and with the ebb and flow of tribal rivalries and fortunes. Europeans came, claimed territories, and made legal and cultural distinctions between these new possessions. Thus, boundaries and borders are among the many legacies of the European settlement of America. With borders eventually came cross-border commerce, border conflicts, border-crossing formalities and border controls, and border patrols. Background In 1521

European Voyages of Discovery Figure 1. Silk Road Spice Route Alexander and the Greeks The riches of the East were well known to the Greeks. Alexander the Great had persued his conquests into India. When Alexander died, his generals soon divided his empire. Egypt was one of the richest prizes and Egypt was tus governed by Greek pharoes, the best known being Cleopatra. Alexandria in Egypt would become the center of geography and science, until Ceasar burned the great library. Hippalus, a Greek-Egyptian explorer, was active in the 1st century BC . Building on the carography available at the time, Hippalus discovered a new route to India. Instead of hugging the Arabian, Hippalus sailed accross the Arablian Sea directly to India. It was a shorter route and avoided the depredations of pirates and loical lords along the coast and could take advantage of the seasonal winds. Greek merchants are believed to have also crossed the Bay of Bengal to reach Southeast Asia. Whether any actuall reached China is unknown. The geographic knowledge acquired by the Greeks was compiled in the 1st century AD . by the great astronomer of AlexandriaPtolemy . Rome The Romans were not great sea explorers. There was some coastal Atlantic trade along the Atlantic coast, but there were not major exporatioins beyound the known Roman world. The Roman navy was primarily active in the Mediterranean and the geography there was well known. They did of course launch a cross-Channel invasion of Britain.
