In 1985 off the Florida Keys, legendary treasure diver Mel Fisher and his team finally found the object of a deep-sea search spanning nearly 17 years. The Atocha shipwreck was named by the Guinness Book of World Records as the most valuable shipwreck treasure ever recovered, then worth an estimated $400 million.
Mel's son Kim Fisher, a treasure hunter himself, was one of the Atocha’s finders. Join him and host Elizabeth Harryman Lasley to learn what it was like to find sunken treasure that he and his family had been seeking for nearly two decades.
The Florida Keys History Center's Corey Malcom also shares history about how the Keys became a magnet for avid treasure hunters.

The Florida Keys History Center, itself a treasure trove of Keys history, is located in the Key West Library: keyslibraries.org.
