Santa Yaga

Post by john sefton » Wed Jul 04, 2012 7:30 pm

An English Chart dated 1792 states that some years earlier a Spanish galleon named “Santa Yaga” was lost off the Three Brothers, which are several small keys off the northeastern tip of Ambergris Key"
In Chetumal Bay, Mexico not far from Rocky Point, there are three islands called Tres Hermanos, or Three Brothers. There have been unverified reports of anchors around these islands, however, it is unlikely that a large galleon could have entered the waters around Tres Hermanos unless driven there by a hurricane. There is a possibility that the anchors and cannon at Rocky Point may have come from the Santa Yaga.

Any information is welcome.
