And lastly, for MEMBERS ONLY — We have some exciting news about our 1715 Fleet Society meeting, to be held in conjunction with the Conference!
This year, for Fleet Society members and their guests, we have arranged for the dinner meeting to be held at Captain Hirams in Sebastian, Florida. This dinner meeting will be very special — we are holding a silent auction and a private viewing of a portion of the recently recovered treasure (special thanks to 1715 Fleet – Queens Jewels, LLC) for MEMBERS ONLY. The silent auction will contain many interesting items, both shipwreck and non-shipwreck-related.
Ticket price for members will be $35 ($45 for guests of members). The dinner meeting will start at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, January 13, 2026. The first hour will be socializing, and the dinner buffet will be served at approximately 6:45 p.m.
For those attending, payment can be made by cash or check, in person, at the Conference.
