actually they found remains of a Fort Caroline in South Carolina a few years ago...

It was triangular in shape...

we had a speaker at a Huguenot luncheon a few years ago who told us the history and had engravings from a book about it..

and there was a Huguenot fort in Florida..

If the Catholic Spaniards had not wiped out the Protestant French in Florida, we would be celebrating Thanksgiving based on that 50 years earlier colony...

The Spaniards killed the Huguenots at both forts..

BTW there was big doings last year in Florida for the 450th anniversary of the arrival of the Huguenots in Florida..

I think the South Carolina find was Charles Fort on Paris Island, the failed 1562 attempt before Ft Caroline a few years later
