In 2015, the remains of the famous 1715 Treasure Fleet was discovered. It was actually a combination of two Spanish fleets returning from the New World loaded with gold and silver. On Wednesday, July 31at, 1715, seven days after they sailed from Cuba, all eleven ships of the fleet were lost in a hurricane along the east coast of Florida. The only ship to survive was a the French frigate Le Grifon that sailed further out to sea and lived to return to Europe with the news of horrendous storms in the New World.
This chart before 1800 lacks the record and magnitude. The events before 1800 are major ones that people reported. They do tend to come in clusters and intensify with solorar activity as is the same with Volcanoes. We saw a low in 2021 and 2024 should have been a more active season. If next year exceeds the activity of 2024, then there is a risk on a greater number into 2027.
