Experience the richest collection of 17th century shipwreck artifacts
in the world!
Lift
a real gold bar. Feel, touch, and be touched by the treasure of
Spanish galleons.
You've seen it on TV, you've read about it in magazines, but there's
only one place you can see the real treasure...
The Mel Fisher Maritime Museum.
The Mel Fisher Maritime Museum is home to more than $20 million in
treasure and historical objects. This includes a wide range of
artifacts, from gold and silver bars; over 4,000 silver coins; a gold
chalice, known as the "poison cup"; and a six-inch gold cross, set
with some of the finest emeralds in the world, to swords, guns,
pottery, and personal effects from the 1622 fleet.
Relive the Age of Discovery as you explore the museum's four ships,
the Nuestra Señora de Atocha and the Santa Margarita, both of which
sank in a hurricane in 1622; The St. John's Wreck, a vessel of
exploration that carried conquistadors to the Caribbean in roughly
1560; and the Henrietta Marie, an English merchant slaver that sank
off the Florida Keys in 1700.
The Learning Channel called it The number one amazing treasure in the
world. Was it the gold? Was it the silver? Was it Mel Fisher's
incredible 16-year adventure? You decide.
Don't miss the opportunity to experience the treasures in person.
