Folks,
You might wish to contact Jim, and Maureen Parent of the Institute of
Nautical Archaeology in Texas. I did a sub-bottom echo sounding search in
St. Anne's Bay, Jamaica, at least 10 years ago and we found two hard
contacts at just the right place for the two last ships of his final
voyage. They were excavating them under horrendous conditions (inky black
silt and organics as soon ass the bottom was touched). It would be most
interesting to know if they were the ballast piles of two caravels, beached
alongside each other and abandoned there. The Parents called their
operation "Columbus Caravel Archaeological Project".
Good luck

What does this have to do with the DML?
