Archaeologists in Texas Drained the Sea Around a 1686Wreck — La Salle’s Doomed Flagship
In 1686, France's last hope for an empire on the Gulf Coast sank in a Texas storm — and vanished into the mud for three hundred years. Then, in the 1990s, archaeologists did something almost unheard of: they built a steel wall around the wreck and drained the sea itself to reach her. This is the true story of La Belle, the flagship King Louis XIV gave to the explorer La Salle, and the doomed 1684 expedition that was meant to found a French colony at the mouth of the Mississippi — until a navigational error stranded four hundred colonists four hundred miles off course. We trace the cascade of disasters that followed, the 1995 rediscovery by the Texas Historical Commission, the first-ever cofferdam excavation in the Western Hemisphere, and the nearly two million artifacts — cannons, trade beads, tools, and a crew member's skeleton — recovered from what became one of the most complete time capsules of colonial history ever found. Every claim in this video is verified against the historical and archaeological record, including the Texas Historical Commission and Bullock Texas State History Museum. 📖 GO DEEPER — COMPLETE HIDDEN INVESTIGATION Our new ebook PRE-PYRAMID INDUSTRIALISTS uncovers the lost world of ancient metalworkers who were refining metal on an industrial scale before the pyramids were built.
