1715 Spanish Plate Fleet
I'm pleased that you mentioned the late Bob Weller, who probably dove on the 1715 Spanish Plate Fleet more than anyone else....at least 30 years. His books are still the best ones to get an overview of the vessels that sank during that terrible storm. The Nuestra Senora del Carmen was most fascinating for its size and load of treasure. Mel Fisher, Richard McAllister and John Brandon are all renowned names of salvors who worked the 1715 vessels throughout the years. There was also Mo Molinar who probably found more treasure than the others, but didn't get much publicity, which was okay with him And our very own...my good friend...Capt. Carl "Fizz" Fismer has also worked some of these wrecks. Check out his website at: Spanishmaintreasure.com. Ellsworth Boyd Wreckmaster
