Castillo de San Marcos

The document discusses a pirate attack on St. Augustine, Florida in 1668. The pirates boarded a supply ship from Veracruz under false pretenses and then attacked the town, killing 60 people and taking 70 prisoners before ransoming most and leaving with loot. The attack showed that St. Augustine needed stronger defenses as it was an important outpost protecting Spain's trade routes.
