Guale caciques rented out canoas with paddlers to carry frairs' corn from Amelia Island to San Pablo
Canoa traffic followed the inland waterway to a landing on the creek of San Pablo. There, the cargo was unloaded, hauled 10 or 12 leagues to the town of Tolomato, and loaded onto another canoa for the remaining 3 leagues to St. Augustine (Santiago and the Principales of Tolomato, 1658; Hann). In the late 17th century, the rental for a canoa to carry Indian corn from Amelia Island down to the haulover was 8 reales, plus the paddlers' rations and the wages of 1 real a day (Caciques de Guale, 1701; Pueyo, 1695).
