Galleon Hunt

Galleon Hunt by Weller, Robert. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780962835926.

The life story of Art McKee, the first salvage diver of the Florida Keys. He successfully worked the Capitana of the Spanish 1733 treasure fleet, built a museum that thousands have visited in the Florida keys, then began his search for the Spanish treasure galleon "Genovesa" that sank on the Pedro banks in 1730. After many years of searching the wrong reefs, he finally located the galleon and recovered silver coins and bars. He died 8 months later, never to return to the "Genovesa". The book provides charts and exact location of the "Genovesa", and colored photos taken during the salvage. Numerous black & white photos show salvage of the 1733 fleet galleons in the Florida keys, along with the treasures recovered.
