Armada Invencible
Great Spanish Armada In AD1588 some vessels belonging to the Great Spanish Armada were wrecked off the western coast, not far from a bay which in commemoration of that circumstance, was named the bay of Float. At Money Point (Money Head) a considerable number of Spanish dubloons were subsequently discovered.
