Title: Fort Caroline, circa 1670
Caption: Fort Caroline was built by Laudenniere, head of the second French expedition to Florida in 1564, and was so named by him after King Charles IX of France. It appears to have been situated on or near what is now known as St. Helena Sound, near Port Royal in South Carolina. It was the scene of a desperate encounter between the French and Spanish forces.
