Stynky Tudor Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 In regards to the first picture, on Facebook you mentioned something about the lack of hills/mountains surrounding St Augustine. I've only been there a couple times and don't recall much in the way of high ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Cross Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 (edited) Lol, it was a joke. St Augustine is super flat in all directions. I think whoever created the first picture had never been there. The second one is more accurate to the area. It reminds me of that scene in that "not-so-good" Blackbeard miniseries with Angus Macfadyen. When they reach the harbor at Charleston, there are mountains and hills behind it. If you've ever been, no hills at all. Way to go Hollywood!

michaelsbagley Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 The second image likely has to be post-1703 (1704?), as it depicts the stone fort which was not completed until some time int he first handful of years of the 1700s. But yeah, as a frequent traveller to St.Augustine, it is flat there.... almost as flat as Ohio even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, I know - the second image made sense to my recollection, but they're both great images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyBarbossa Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Gotta love the period engravings, hmm? 🥰🏴☠️ That first image looks like there is a big river flowing inland. Very interesting. Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, it shows just how accurate one can be when the illustrator that has never stepped foot out of England and draws from someone else's written description.
