Help out a noob: I have amassed a few of the 1733 books, but wanted to expand my collection.

What books must be part of any reading collection covering the 1715 and 1733 wrecks?

Feel free to include any scholarly resources or self-published works as well. Thanks!

I will add the first contribution, as I discovered and ordered it today:

-"Following the Lure of the Galleon Treasures" by Dr. Ron Molinari
 
I own the following:
-Galleon Hunter
-Galleon Alley
-Famous Shipwrecks of the Florida Keys
 
Bob Wellers Books
The Rainbow Chasers
Funnel of Gold
Robert Marx's Queens Jewells
Robert Westricks Finding the Fleet
Westrick also has a bibliography book listing all the 1715 books
The 1715 Society had a deal on back Issues of Plus Ultra (A newsletter with articles covering the 1715 fleet) Publications - 1715 Fleet Society
Mariners magazine
 
Must read 1715 fleet book: Florida's Golden Galleons by Bob Burgess
Must read 1733 fleet book: Diving To A Flash Of Gold by Martin Meylach

Both are available from Florida Classics Library

The first book that got me started...and I'm sure quite a few others.
I consider this book the one that started it all as far as the 1715 Fleet....It's a Classic.
