Early Explorers
Legend has it that Prince Madoc of Wales drifted into Mobile bay in 1170. He then sailed back to Wales and returned the following year with ten shiploads of colonists. After a year or so of living on the Gulf Coast, the colony moved North to Sand Island on the Ohio River. Some historians believe that his first Gulf Coast settlement was here at Mobile.
A few centuries later in 1497, Amerigo Vespucci was thought to have mapped Mobile Bay. If not true, somebody else must have charted it for the bay shows up very clearly on the Waldmueller Map of 1507.
