    Carisub - Castro's private treasure chest

    I'm reading a book titled 'Dead Silence' by Randy Wayne White. It is part of a book series by the author which I have enjoyed reading The book is fiction but like all fiction it is based in reality. In the story they mentioned Carisub which is a Cuban run salvage company that Fidel Castro created many years ago to salvage treasure from wrecks around Cuba. It must be nice to be a dictator.

    Is anyone aware of any material on the company or any of the wrecks they salvaged. I would be interested in reading a book on the topic if there is one out there. Do you know if any of the items found has entered the market place?

    There must be a very nice stash somewhere in Cuba.

    Thanks

    I don't know what the state of all this is today, but this 1997 article blew my mind!
