‘Treasures of the Deep’ is the exciting true story of one-time Barnardo’s boy and now professional diver Captain Mike Hatcher. It recounts the adventurous tales of Hatcher’s countless discoveries of sunken treasure beneath the seven seas.
Michael Hatcher, a Yorkshireman who has spent thirty years specialising in shipwreck salvage work comes from humble beginnings but is today the most celebrated shipwreck salvor of all time.
Captain Mike Hatcher has recovered valuable cargoes from many exotic locations such as Thailand and Indonesia, whilst also being able to enjoy the financial fruits of his labour. Hatcher has also witnessed first hand the tragedy of war-torn Vietnam and post-Khmer Rouge Cambodia; he has also periodically had to incur the wrath of South-East Asian governments, marine archaeologists and unscrupulous competitors.
Mike Hatcher’s greatest discovery is the massive salavage operation of Tek Sing and its amazing cargo. Discovered at the bottom of the South China Sea, the shipwreck contained at least 360,000 pieces of porcelain being ‘the biggest in the world and certainly the most valuable’, according to Hatcher.
‘Treasures of the Deep’ is a marvellous story of courage, skill, determination and fantastic rewards in the face of harsh adversity.
