The Dry Tortugas were first dominated by sea turtles. Then, in 1513, Juan Ponce de Leon established the island as a shipping corridor. Soon after, it would be nicknamed “ship trap,” as many ships wrecked, their treasures now lining the bottom of the sea.
Though technically abandoned, it does welcome travelers. Many visit Fort Jefferson, which began construction in 1874 but never reached completed. However, it’s known as the island’s crown jewel.
