The Sack of St. Augustine Captain Searle's Raid of 1668

late February/early March, 2009

St. Augustine, Florida

In 1668 Capt. Robert Searle and his privateers sailed from Jamaica to loot the silver ingots held in the royal coffers at St. Augustine. Under cover of night, they slipped into the harbor and attacked the sleeping town. We are always looking for new recruits to portray townspeople, garrison soldiers, Native Americans, and buccaneers! Our focus is on an accurate historical impression, using correct materials, styles, and equipment. You need not be a historian, actor, or military enthusiast to participate.

,This Event is an historical re-enactment. Historically accurate garb and gear are required to participate in this Event.

,English buccaneers and Spanish soldados - Musketeers are needed! Matchlock, snaphaunce, doglock, and miquelet muskets will be accepted.

Native American re-enactors, doing Timucua, Apalachee, or Guale, are especially welcome.
