Description: Two small rowboats of settlers are shown at the mouth of the May River (known today as the St. Johns River) on the coast of Florida. There are two Indigenous people in the water, appearing to greet one of the boats. On the right bank, a group of Indigenous people stand, some hold bows and arrows. Some are looking at and gesturing towards the colonists’ boats. Four small round structures are also pictured on the right bank. This illustration is identical to the one found on page 39 of Frankfurt 1591, but colored.
