The '''Luna expedition''' was a [[1559]] Spanish venture led by [[Tristán de Luna y Arellano]] that established an ephemeral colony on [[Pensacola Bay]], near the [[barrancas]] on modern-day [[NAS Pensacola]]. With thirteen ships and 1,500 soldiers and settlers, de Luna established the '''Puerta de Santa María''' colony on [[August 15]]. Most of the encampment's supplies were still loaded on the ships a month later when a [[September 19]] [[Hurricane of 1559|hurricane]] wrecked most of the fleet. Without food, the expedition sent a group north to search for food. The survivors were evacuated in [[1561]] and the colony abandoned.
