Where lie the 964 unmarked graves of the Minorcans who toiled, suffered, and ultimately perished in New Smyrna Beach between 1768 and 1777?Beneath the billowing sails that appeared as white canvases of hope against the sky, the Minorcans aboard the eight Turnbull vessels looked heavenward, their eyes filled with optimism.
