Appears to be oriented with the north toward the right. Depicts the French Huguenot settlement in the Jacksonville, Florida area during the 16th century. Shows panoramic view of a triangular shaped fort that includes soldiers' quarters. French ships are in the left foreground with indigenous peoples in boats in the center foreground. Frenchmen are interacting with the indigenous peoples toward the right foreground with palm trees and other vegetation to the right. The exact location of Fort Caroline is still in dispute but is known to have been located "on the south bank of the present-day St. John's River [formerly, River of May], a short distance inland from the sea".
