“Ici la Riv. de Loire”, detail of a painting currently on my easel. Saturiwa, Chief of the Timucuan People, welcomes Jean Ribault in Florida. The explorer named the rivers he encountered after French rivers. The marker reading: “Massacre by Menendez of Ribault and his men September 1565” serves as a reminder of the tragic end of the settlement attempt. Oil on canvas, dyptich, 40 x 56. #timucuanpreserve #timucuan #jacqueslemoynedemorgues #fortcaroline #jeanribault #loire #oilpainting #ronsardlere #fredericlere (at Fort Caroline National Monument) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbA_321OAa9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Loire River, Brunswick, Georgia. Now Brunswick River, Jean Ribault named it Loire in 1562. That name lasted as long as the French presence, only a few years. The Sidney Lanier Bridge seems to be built to last longer.
