BOUND FOR SPAIN, SHE WAS CARRYING A TREAURE OF GOLD, SILVER, GEMS AND OTHER GOODS. SHE CARRIED 30 TONS OF SILVER, INCLUDING 1,038 INGOTS, MANY OF THEM PRIVATELY OWNED, OTHERS INTENDED TO FILL THE COFFERS OF THE SPANISH CROWN. DURING THE HURRICANE THE ILL-FATED GALLEON STRUCK A REEF OFF THE DRY TORTUGAS AND SANK.

AMERICAN TREASURE HUNTER MEL FISHER SEARCHED FOR THE WRECK OF THE ATOCHA FOR SIXTEEN YEARS. THE UNKOWN EXACT LOCATION OF THE WRECK, THE SEARCH IN DEEP WATERS AND THE DIVER EXPERTISE REQUIRED IN THE FACE OF DANGER, MADE THE FIND AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT ONE.

ON JULY 20TH 1985, FISHER AND HIS TEAM STRUCK THE MOTHER LOAD, BRINGING TO THE SURFACE AFTER MORE THAN THREE AND A HALF CENTURIES AN AMAZING TREASURE OF GOLD, SILVER COINS AND INGOTS AND PRECIOUS EMERALDS. THE NUMISMATIC VALUE, HISTORICAL IMPORTANCE AND POPULARITY OF THE SALVAGED CARGO HAVE CONTINUED TO INCREASE MARKEDLY SINCE THEIR DISCOVERY. PLEASE BE PATIENT AS THIS IS A HARD TIME FOR EVERYONE AND PACKAGES ARE GETTING DELIVERED, JUST NOT IN THE NORMAL TIMEFRAME.
