Four hundred and fifty years ago the Frenchman Jean Ribault approached the coast of Florida and saw a large river. As this happened on May first, he named it “River of May,” now known as the St. John’s River. He explored both sides of the river and met the native Timucua inhabitants. Through a series of rare sixteenth century engravings and original maps, his exploits in Florida are visualized in this exhibition organized by the Beaches Museum and drawn from the private collection of Michael and Dr. Linda Fisher.

The Jacksonville Maritime Heritage Center will be displaying the work of Meredith Fordham Hughes, Barbara Holmes Fryefield, Joanelle Mulrain and Deborah Reid.
