(viewed September 25, 2023). 520 3 From the 16th to the 18th century, Spain dominated the transatlantic trading empire, though not without cost. The Spanish Plate Fleets lost off the coast of Florida have been the subject of much treasure hunting and archaeological interest. The fleets evoke a romantic tale of historical international trade, colonialism, piracy, devastating tragedy, and insight into the economy of the Spanish empire and maritime culture of the 18th century (Florida's Bureau of Archaeological Research, Division of Historical Resources [BAR, DHR] 2020). After each wrecking event, Spanish authorities extensively salvaged the shipwreck sites for several years, producing a healthy historical record. Unfortunately, modern treasure hunters were the first to relocate the 1715 and 1733 fleet wrecks, and consequently, heavily impacted the sites; archaeologists have documented what remains. Despite the well-documented history of both fleets, little research has focused on the salvage camps and the historic salvage efforts associated with the 1622, 1715, and 1733 Plate Fleet disasters. Using a maritime cultural landscape (MCL) theoretical framework, this thesis seeks to understand the cultural processes and behaviors involved with the Plate Fleet shipwrecks and salvage operations. This thesis also will offer analysis informed by Critical Race Theory to uncover the hidden stories and agency of the enslaved persons conducting the dangerous salvage operations under the close watch of Spanish admiralty agents. Critical Race Theory challenges the dominant ideology (in this race-based slavery) by "giving voice" to people who otherwise are silenced by racist oppression. Both theoretical approaches will help understand the broader maritime cultural landscape, or the interaction between human processes and the maritime environment on both land and underwater, of the 18th century. Research into the lives of the salvagers can add another dimension to the study of 18th century Spanish colonialism, exploration, and commerce. An ESRI Story Map, designed as a public outreach product, will describe, and illuminate the salvage history of the Spanish Plate Fleets. By employing techniques drawn from critical race theory and MCL this thesis seeks to extrapolate information pertaining to the Spanish salvage industry and the people participating in the salvage operations. 504 Includes bibliographical references. 650 0 Shipwrecks |zFlorida |y17th century. |=^A1018896 650 0 Shipwrecks |zFlorida |y18th century. |=^A1018896 650 0 Salvage archaeology |zFlorida. |=^A650438 650 0 Merchant ships |zSpain |y17th century. |=^A42822 650 0 Merchant ships |zSpain |y18th century. |=^A42822 650 0 Underwater archaeology |zFlorida. |=^A19718 650 0 Galley slaves |zSpain |xHistory. |=^A1032325 650 0 Critical race theory. |=^A1422814 653 Spanish salvage 653 enslaved divers 653 1622 Plate Fleet 653 1715 Plate Feet 653 1733 Plate Feet 653 balandra 655 7 dissertations. |2aat |0(CStmoGRI)aatgf300028029 655 7 Academic theses. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01726453 655 7 Academic theses. |2lcgft 655 7 Thèses et écrits académiques. |2rvmgf |0(CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001173 700 1 McKinnon, Jennifer F. |q(Jennifer Faith), |d1974- |edegree supervisor. |=^A1271535 710 2 East Carolina University. |bDepartment of History. |=^A636991 856 40 |uhttp://hdl.handle.net/10342/10644 |zAccess via ScholarShip 949 |owjh 994 C0 |bERE 596 1 4 998 5831699
