Key Largo - Maritime Museum of the Florida Keys

Maritime Museum of the Florida Keys is located inside the reproduction of a 15th century castle. Displays include artifacts and relics salvaged from some of the ill-fated Spanish Galleons that sank in the area. Vicious hurricanes and shallow coral reefs destroyed several Spanish fleets in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Maritime Museum of the Florida Keys has gold coins, ceramic urns, weaponry such as one of the oldest pieces ever found, the Haskins Capitana Medallion.
