Text Appearing Before Image:
SPANISH BATTLESHIP IN PENSACOLA HARBOR 364 YEARS AGO The Spanish fleet of naval vessels, under command of Hernando de Sota, landed in Tampa bay-on the 20th of May, 1530, where De Sota and his army landed. His fleet of battleships were sentinto Pensacola Harbor to meet him after he had explored the interior. In the latter part of October,1540, De Sota was at Tuscaloosa, and learned that he was within six days march of Pensacola^ THE BLISS MAGAZINE 37
Text Appearing After Image:
BATTLESHIP TEXAS RECEIVING VISITORS IN PENSACOLA HARBOR where he was to meet the ships. It was here that he learned of the conspiracy among his soldiers tosieze his person when he arrived at Pensacola and force an abandonment of the expedition. De Sotainstead of going to meet the ships turned back, and died May 21, 1S42, and was buned m theMississippi river. The ship in the foreground is the flagship, and a fair representation of the battle-ships of that period. The Battleship Texas is shown in contrast with the vessels of that penod.
