Ribault named the San Juan River and named it May
1. [Bolton note: The San Juan River was reached on May 1, and named River of May. Ribaut erected a column there. Eight rivers farther up the coast were named Seine, Somme, Loire, Charente, Garonne, Gironde, Belle, and Grande. Entering the harbor at Santa Elena he named it Port Royal, erected a column, and left a garrison of twenty-eight men under Albert de la Pierria, naming it Charlesfort (not Caroline as Arredondo says).
