Code entry
By 1683 the crown, totally unable to supply its colony on the North Atlantic seaboard, was forced to approve Governor Marques Cabrera’s emergency purchases from a New York merchant he called Felipe Federico. This Dutchman first gained entrance to the harbor as an intermediary returning the governor’s son and another lad captured by pirates. Captain Federico and his little sloop, The Mayflower, became regular callers at St. Augustine. Others followed suite. [Note 68: Gov. Marques Cabrera 10/8/1683; royal officials 4/1/1684 and 3/22/1686] AN219 (Bushnell KC)
