Description:
A recreation of a obelisk left by French explorer Jean Ribault in 1562, now overlooking the St. John's River. It was depicted in a print based on a drawing by Jacques Le Moyne when the next French expedition led by Laudonnier returned and found it with the Timucua. The recreated monument bears a plaque recognizing the Daughters of the American Revolution.
The Jacksonville Port Authority's Spoil facility for dredging is visible from the monument site.
