In the summer of 1964, Mel Fisher working through a contract with the Real Eight Corporation, located and salvaged a tremendous treasure consisting of thousands of gold coins and priceless artifacts.
This wreck site was surveyed, analyzed, and reduced to a report by archaeologist Carl J Clausen, who was representing the State of Florida.
More than 50 years later this report is still considered to be a valuable research tool in learning more about this particular wreck site.
The Clausen report can be accessed here courtesy of the Florida Museum of Natural History.
