A c. 1589 map showing the port of Cartagena on the Spanish Main (now in modern Colombia). Cartagena was one of the main ports for the Spanish treasure fleets and acted as a collecting point for gold, silver, emeralds, and pearls from Colombia and Venezuela. The map by Baptista Boazio shows the attack by Francis Drake in 1586. (Library of Congress)
