Uncharted Waters: The Life and Times of Captain Fizz
Here is a book that not only encompasses the lives of long ago adventuresome figures, but also the lives of modern-day adventurers, explorers and treasure-hunters. Thanks to the detailed manifests of the ship"s cargo, which were drawn-up in the triplicate before the fleet left Havana harbor en-route back to Spain, the salvors of sunken Spanish galleons are able to ascertain the amount of treasure still aboard the ships when they went down and whether or not the wrecks had already been salvaged by the Spaniards themselves.

Double Trouble With Treasure by Sam Milner
The definition of treasure is...a concentration of riches, often one which is considered lost or forgotten until being rediscovered. Treasure comes in many forms and is relative to the one seeking treasure. Whether it's Spanish coins lying on the ocean floor, diamonds from the mines of Africa, fine art from the easels of the master artists, or artifacts from the ancient civilizations...Windley and Sunny seem to get tangled up in treasure along with the unforgettable characters that dwell with in the realm of their extraordnary lives. They continue to unravel the mysteries accompanied with and complicated by the discovery of treasure.

Treasure Of Indian Isle: More Treasure / More Trouble by Sam Milner
Where the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River are connected by the narrow and sometimes treacherous Sebastian Inlet...there likes a unique and mysterious area. Here, over 300 years ago in 1715...a Spanish treasure fleet was wrecked in a horrendous hurricane in the shallow waters along the coast of these barrier islands. Here, 12 miles north of the inlet over 500 years ago in 1513...Juan Ponce de Leon first set foot on the continent giving it the name, La Florida. This is an area rich in history and filled with the tales of Spanish gold and ghosts, not only ghosts of ship-wrecked Europeans, but also the ghosts of the Ais, the Native Indian Tribe who inhabited this area. There is mystery and intrigue among the sea dunes, danger in the mangrove-lined river banks, and eerie examples of archaeological phenomenon where the well-preserved remains of ancient visitors are buried in the bog-lands of the tidal-estuaries.

Tain Yanchuan - "The ship that sailed to the edge of Heaven and Earth”
Chinese Junk Shipwreck
Circa: 1115
Salvaged by: Marc and Krist Geriene
Recovered: 1993-1996
Inventory #: TC coral
Dimensions: 35 x 70
Description: White Ware with Coral
Approximately nine hundred years ago (c. 1 115), a monsoon storm crashed the ocean-going junk, its men and cargo of porcelain onto an open-sea reef in the South China Sea too far for a human being to swim to the safety of dry land. The reef was shallow and much of the shipwreck came to rest in less than 30 feet of water. Over the last nine centuries, the reefs living framework entombed the wreckage while the wooden ship decayed and disappeared, leaving only the porcelain packaged in large cargo jars which were in turn packaged in a coral concretion. lncredibly, these giant cargo jars while broken, still were able to adequately protect their contents so securely that most of the porcelain was discovered intact. Some of the pieces were partially broken, while the hostile environment of the sea etched other items; a few rare artifacts became home to centuries of gradual coral growth while others were as bright as the day they left the kiln.
