It is the exciting story of the search and discovery of what is proving to be the most fabulous treasure wreck of all time~Nuestra Señora de Atocha Lost in a hurricane more than 350 years ago, the treasure galleon was hidden under a protective blanket of sand in only fifty~four feet of water a few miles from Key West, Florida. Until 1985 just traces of the wreck came into view. For years the divers pieced together the jigsaw puzzle that slowly revealed the "motherlode"~ the bulk of precious cargo. The ship is yielding delicate jewelry, gold and silver coins~fresh from the mints of Mexico and Potosi~and over a thousand silver ingots. The treasure is estimated to be worth some $400 million. But more than gold and silver is being recovered. R. Duncan Mathewson III, the Archaeological Director of Mel Fisher's Treasure Salvors, Inc., has applied land~based archaeological techniques to this underwater "dig" to reveal new details about seventeenth~century Spanish colonial life in the New World. The recovery of the common objects of everyday life is proving to be as exciting as the recovery of the treasure itself. The remains of the ship's hull, the religious artifacts, the weaponry, the cooking utensils, and the most private personal possessions of the crew are all helping to rewrite the history of the period.
