we went to Jacksonville to visit my brother and his wife and continued down to St. Augustine for this re-enactment

Searle's Sack of St. Augustine 2020 | Visit St. Augustine

although they did not participate this time, both he and his wife are part of the Spanish re-enactors

the raiders firing their matchlock muskets ( black powder only, no wad or ball loaded for safety purposes of course )

the Spanish defenders returning fire

another volley by the raiders

6 pound cannon fired [ cannon was interesting, part containing the black powder was in a removable section in the breech and ball would have been loaded down the muzzle ]

Neat shots. It reminds me that we have a re-enactment of the Civil War battle of Bentonville coming up here in a couple weeks.
