English Barbadian sloop accidentally arrived at Mission Santa Catalina
(Worth SGC)
The increase in English traffic along the mid-Atlantic coast did lead to occasional minor confrontations between English vessels and the residents of Guale during this period, such as the accidental arrival of a Barbadian sloop at Mission Santa Catalina in May of 1670 (see Crane, 1956: 10; Bushnell, 1994), and a similar incident at Sapala in late 1674 (Ponce de Leon, 1675), but it was not until the end of the decade that Guale and Mocama became the direct targets of English-sponsored hostility.
