The legends of the Treasure Coast began long before the name itself.

In 1715, eleven Spanish galleons packed with gold and silver vanished in a violent hurricane off Florida’s coast. What followed was a frenzy of wreckage, survival, and piracy that helped define the Golden Age of Piracy.

Join historian and author 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗵 for an unforgettable journey into the world of the infamous 1715 Spanish Fleet, Black Sam Bellamy, Henry Jennings, and the pirates who scoured Florida’s coastline searching for unimaginable riches.

Drawing from years of research, including work in the archives of Havana, Cuba, Balogh brings this dramatic chapter of history roaring back to life through vivid storytelling and fascinating historical insight.
