Abstract
Constructed in 1696 in Alvaredo, Mexico, the Nuestra Señora del Rosario y Santiago Apostòl was created to protect Spanish shipping and colonies in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. Rosario served in this purpose for nine years until it was wrecked on the shores of Santa Rosa Island in September of 1705. Between 1998 and 2002 the University of West Florida excavated the remains of Rosario. The information recovered from these excavations has allowed for a detailed analysis of the construction of the vessel. From this analysis it appears that while Rosario was constructed in the New World using local materials and labor, the design of the ship aligns closely with the historical record of Spanish warships constructed in that era in Spain.
