February, 1686: a small French sailing ship runs aground in Matagorda Bay. The crew had braved an ocean voyage, attacks by pirates, raids by Native Americans, and diseases, to establish a colony in the New World. More than 300 years later, James E. Bruseth and Toni S. Turner piece together both the ship and its tragic story.
