Gov. Canzo used the presidio flyboat for private shipping purposes
Governor Mendez de Canzo’s first report to the crown from St. Augustine suggested that the mariners be paid from these ship revenues. The crown responded by requesting the governor to report on all presidio vessel income, what it was converted to and, and on what spent. Accountant Bartolome de Arguelles replied on his own. The governor, he said, saved himself 1,000 ducats a year in freight by use of His Majesty’s flyboat. [Note 53: Juan Menendez Marquez, Juan Lopez de Aviles, and Bartolome de Arguelles 9/13/1600; cedula to Gov. Mendez de Canzo 11/9/1598; Bartolome de Arguelles 10/31/1598]
