Description: |
includes photos, maps and illustrations This book is mostly about the author’s exploits salvaging treasure wrecks off the coast of Florida and in the Caribbean. Some of the 16 stories were previously published in Treasure Quest Magazine, which the author owned and edited in the late 1990s…and some of the stories are new material. In addition to chapters about the "1715 Fleet", the "1733 Fleet" (including the San Fernando which no one has yet located), the Lucayan Beach Wreck, the Maravillas, Las Cinque Chagas, the Atocha and Santa Margarita, and the Tumbaga Bars Wreck, there are also stories about Cuban treasure wrecks, wrecks in the Azores, treasures on Tortuga island, and wrecks on “The Cobblers” reef off Barbados. The author is the most successful salvor of the "1715 Fleet" wrecks and many of his better finds are described in this book. |
