Mel Fisher's Treasures, Key West, FL, USA

Mel Fisher's Treasures is a world leader in historic shipwreck recovery.

Our company embodies the legacy of Mel Fisher and his perseverance in his quest to find the wreck site of the Nuestra Senora de Atocha which sank in 1622. Mel started every day for 16 years with his mantra, Today's the Day! Finally on July 20, 1985 it was the day and $400 million dollars in treasure was brought to the surface. Since then Mel's son, daughter and grandchildren have continued the quest for the illusive remaining half of the ship known as the Sterncastle. To date approximately half a billion dollars in historic treasure and artifacts have been recovered and there is still far more left to find.

In recent years Mel Fisher's Treasures has expanded to search for new shipwrecks in addition to the remaining sections of the Atocha and Santa Margarita. In April 2011 the initial survey work began on a project dubbed The Lost Merchant. At this time details of this project remain confidential- privy to only the Fisher family, staff and private investors.
