Facts
• In September of 1622, during a hurricane, the Nuestra Señora de Atocha went down forty miles west of Key West. Some of the wreckage was discovered in 1971, by Mel Fisher after years of searching. It's main treasure-trove was finally located in 1986 producing large quantities of silver cobs, gold bars, jewelry, and choice emeralds.
