Well, got some bad news on those 3 1554 wrecks. Bob Marx worked with SFRX over 15 years ago on Juno.

He gave them a list of targets to look at, which turned up nothing of value.

In 1969 he compiled a list of Florida shipwrecks and mentioned the 3 that I did earlier.

But in 1970, one of those wrecks were found off South Padre Island.

Bob’s list 1554

No name
Brief mention that “three ships carrying treasure were wrecked near Rio Palmas in 26 degrees and 30 minutes of latitude.”
Source: AGI, Mexico, legajo 323. “Memo" Owned by Sr. Bolanos, part of the Armada de Tierra Firme

Nao, Santa Maria del Camino
350 tons, Captain Diego Diaz, Bartlome Carreño was lost on the coast of Florida, and everything it carried was salvaged by the Spaniards. This ship may have been one of the three mentioned above. Source: AGI, Contratacion 2898, f. 188.

Two naos were lost on the coast of Florida
San Estevan, 220 tons, Captain Francisco del Mecerno (spelled Mercesno in another document), coming from Mexico; and Sancta Maria de Yciar. 220 tons, Captain Alonso Ozosi, owned by Miguel de Jaurequi, coming from Mexico. Both may have been two of those mentioned in above. Source: Real Academia de Ia Historia, Madrid, Coleccion Mufloz, tomo 17. 87, f. 139.

The ship of Farfan (probably its owner)
It sank near Ais, richly ladened with gold and silver, and the Indians of the King of Ais recovered a great deal from the wreck. This wreck is possibly the San Estevan mentioned above, but it could be an entirely different shipwreck. Source: Col. Nay., T. XVI, #1086, f. 359.

So what happened to those 3 ships?

In 1554 three Spanish ships heavily laden with $10 million dollars in silver and gold and 410 passengers ran aground in a stormy sea on Padre Island east of Willacy County.

The remains of San Esteban were found in 1970 and excavated in 1972–73.
