When did Cabez de Vaca shipwreck on Galveston Island?

Álvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca did not shipwreck on Galveston Island. He was part of the 1527 Narváez expedition that landed in Florida. After the failure of the expedition, Cabeza de Vaca and three other survivors spent eight years among various Native American tribes in the interior of the present-day United States before finally reaching Mexico City.
