Talk:El Nuevo Constante

The beta editor changed my references, so I don't know what's what. Here is what the Pearson and Hoffman references should be: Kdammers (talk) 06:05, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
 * the first historic shipwreck found off that state's coast. - p.1.
 * using contemporary records from 1774 and 1776 and examination of the lower part of the ship's hull in situ - pp. 1, 4

 * 121 feet (documents of March 1764) or 127.5 feet (archaeological measurement) long - p. 14

 * Exotic lading included two kimonos that were also rescued by the Spanish - pp. 22-28; kimonos mentioned on p. 25
 * It is concluded that these unmarked pieces were contraband not originally recovered because they were not very accessible and the owners did not want to make a fuss over them lest the government salvage officials find out they had been smuggling strenuously controlled goods. - pp. 26-27
