Spain sent many ships out to sea, to explore the new world. One of the more famous ships was the San Felipe, ship of 1690.Recently in November of 2008, marine archeologists stumbled upon the wreckage of an illegal slave ship. It is believed to be the Spanish ship Trouvadore. For more Spanish history, I suggest this site.
