1733 Fleet Shipwrecks

[LuckyKevin]

Speaking of books, I'm on somewhat of a reading kick. Has anyone ever seen this book on the 1733 Fleet or heard of the author, Art Sapp?

Goldminer, is it a good book? I'm always looking to add books to my shipwreck library.

There is another that ends next week.

LuckyKevin,
Art was one of the first to actually salvage some of the Keys wrecks. I remember one incident where the crew was working the Victorioso, and Art had tied a line onto a chest. When they tried to hoist the thing, the side came off the box and fell back into the hole. They SAID that they never recovered anything from that hole. Several years later,my crew was on that wreck, but never recovered a full chest of coins.

Kevin, I'm sure you've read Flash and being Marty's book came out first. Is Arts book a copy or does it have differant
material?

Hi Phil,

I have only seen this book once, very rare. It is more of a pamphlet than a book and contained had Art's "confidential information." Not very in depth but very neat. If I remember right Art had a theory that tha San Jose was really the Capitana and vice-versa.
