Historic District in St. Augustine in St. Johns County, Florida — The American South (South Atlantic)
"San Agustin"
The design for this boat comes from a well preserved marine archeological find in Red Bay, Canada The vessel could be equipped with sails and was seaworthy for long coastal and even open sea travel. This versatile craft is the project of our volunteers in our replica boat yard here on waterfront at the Fountain of Youth Archeological Park.
The Chalupa "San Agustin" was launched and christened in March 2015 and is display here at the Fountain of Youth.
Erected by Saint Augustine Maritime Heritage Foundation.

OPIDVM, and built with the wooden houses of Auguftini, had the most beautiful gardens, but when we fell from them with the most fertile soil, it was reduced to ashes by fire. Here was the pre-faith 150 Hifpanorus, alluding also to the same warning to the twelve North Versus loucas in the place called S. Helena - for these pre-faiths, just as the count in the manger was not high enough, were difpofied to prevent the English and Gauls from taking possession
