The Swabian League of Cities is formed…

Ayllón and his colonists look for an area suitable for colonization approximately fifteen kilometers north, near Pawleys Island.

They find the area unsuitable, and Ayllón decides to move further south.

Some accounts say that some settlers took an overland voyage, while others left on a new boat built at the temporary settlement.

If true, this would probably be the earliest example of European-style boat-building in what is now the United States.
