A great story well told with fantastic illustrations,
By A Customer
This review is from: Treasures of the Spanish Main (Frozen in Time, Set 2) (Library Binding)
The story of Mel Fisher's 16-year search for the lost treasure ship Atocha is a compelling one, and this retelling of it is worthy of the tale. The Spanish ship Atocha, laden with tons of precious metals and jewels, sank in a storm off Florida in 1622. Salvage efforts were frustrated by more storms and a wreck too low in the water to get at without modern diving technology. Mel started looking for the wreck in 1969 and he found it at terrible personal cost. But it is a great story and has wonderful sidebars. I am a children's librarian and kids will love this.

The search for sunken treasure - this is a treasure,

This review is from: Treasures of the Spanish Main (Frozen in Time, Set 2) (Library Binding)
With Odysesey Marine Exploration finding sunken treasure in 2007, it's great to read about another great find - Mel Fisher's find of the Atocha. Pirate of the Caribbean fans might like reading about finding sunken ships and their treasure, too. The book is well written and includes wonderful drawings.
