Description
I took this shot along the beach in Palm Beach, Florida. Palm Beach to the name because of the coconut palms...
The Providencia was traveling from Havana to Cádiz, Spain with a cargo of coconuts harvested on the Caribbean island of Trinidad, when the shipwrecked near Palm Beach. Many of the coconuts naturalized or were planted along the Palm Beach coast. A lush grove of palm trees soon grew on what was later named Palm Beach. Today the tallest coconut palms in the United States can be found along the Palm Beach coast.
