They do. I attended a lecture last spring on the marine archaeological excavation of a big galleon from the 1559 storm in Pensacola Bay (Escambia Bay, actually -- the western, outer part of the bay). She turned out to be the Urca, Don Tristan's flagship. The strength of the storm is attested by the fact that the waves were so big that the bottom of the bay was occasionally exposed in the troughs of the waves as they drove in across the bar, slamming Urca down on the bar over and over until her bottom stove in and her back broke. In the wreck, the Admiral was killed -- the excavators found one of his personal effects in the debris field.
The ship was salved by the survivors of the expedition (who had one sound ship left after the storm), who needed the colonization gear to survive. They were relieved after several months.
Also found in the wreck were crossbow bolt-heads. Urca was one of the last galleons to carry crossbows; they were removed from service soon afterwarda in favor of firearms. Also found, in her bilge, were the remains of ship rats and smoky brown cockroaches, both part of the Columbian Exchange: the roaches are native to Africa and arrived in Spanish ships. The remains from Urca are now the earliest such documentation of this pest in the New World. A moment of levity was provided in the lecture when the lecturer recalled the otherworldly look that came over the distinguished Atlanta entomologist's face when he realized what he had -- publishable data!
Thank you. That is great history.
