That’s an interesting question, Bob. There isn’t any record of the Spanish having explored the east coast that far north, especially at that point in time. Additionally, flags have changed; what’s shown on the map might be related to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_England .

Why are those five flags identified as English? To my mind, the red and white ones look like the Spanish flag.
