Facts<br />In September of 1622, during a hurricane, the NuestraSeñora de Atocha went down forty miles west of Key West. Some of the wreckage was discovered in 1971, by Mel Fisher after years of searching. It's main treasure-trove was finally located in 1986 producing large quantities of silver cobs, gold bars, jewelry, and choice emeralds.<br />
