Drake's Folly

Drake’s Folly was a 16th-century Spanish shipwreck discovered off the coast of Bermuda in 2017. It is believed to be one of the vessels from the ill-fated Spanish fleet of 1594, which was lost during a storm. The shipwreck is notable because it offers insight into maritime history, ship construction, and the challenges faced by explorers of the period. Its preservation provides valuable archaeological information and helps researchers better understand naval life and Spanish-Antillean interactions during the age of exploration.
