I suspect Smithbrown could have saved these guys lots of time !!

Still, to me, a thoroughly enjoyable adventure...

I had the pleasure of meet Cousteau, and showed him around the facility in 1957, or 58 ? when he set up a tent for book signing at the Miami Sequarium, where I worked. Dell

Made a trip to Singapore in 1989 and searched for the 'Geldermelsen' 1754? in South China Sea and Dick Anderson was my cabin-mate. He told me he visited Cousteau museum years earlier and in back room were coins from Silver Shoal wreck. He was somewhat 'jaded' about holy then now 'scientists' . Was quite a trip and we never found wreck. Bob
