Greetings to the community of Friendly MDF.
I am a specialist in historical research on Spanish and Portuguese galleons whose common denominator is to carry out treasures.
In 2007 I published, in Spanish, the book Galeones con tesoros (Galleons with treasure) and this year, in Italian. Now I announce with pleasure that the English edition of my book is almost ready.
Galleons with treasure tells several stories, all from original documents drawn from historical archives in a number of "golden" shipwrecks in several places in the world like the Bahamas, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Philippines, Portugal, Spain and Uruguay.
The book contains a wealth of information on navigation and maritime history, life on board with dramatic testimony concerning hurricanes and storms.
Thanks for your support, which certainly will not be disappointed.
I am available for further information and to share my knowledge among those who love the sea and TH.
Have a good TH.
 
Outstanding. Sounds like a good read. I find it interesting that the pacific coast is much over looked when it comes to sunken spanish ships and treasure. MANY were lost in transit from Baja California (Sea of Cortez) to the California coast. Yet you don't hear much about it. Why is that? I have property in Loreto, Baja Sur Mexico. The mission there was built in the 1600's. There are many stories of spanish ships that set sail from there for San Diego with Gold to finance the building of other missions. some of these ships never made thier destination. And to date much of that gold has never been recovered. I am interested on your thoughts on this. Also, where can we purchase your english addition of your book?

:goodpost: Like Vinnie said, Can you let us know when and where we can purchase your book!
 
"Besides galleons there are several buried treasure. Are legally able to recover?"
My motto is 'You can legally recover anything you do not talk about.' When someone finds 'treasure' of magnitude, all sorts of claims are made from governments to land (beach) owners, to heirs etc.. Just not worth the hassle and expense. Keep quiet and dispose of slowly. RickO
 
In Mexico if it's in the water it's damn hard to get a permit for salvage, you'd have to deal with INAH ( national institute of archeaology and history), big companies have tried getting permits and had no luck.....
However, alot of stuff gets salvaged by local fisherman all the time.....
ps, let me know when the book is available also!
 
Sounds like a great book, I look forward to its release. I know of a couple of gentelmen who were in spain doing this kind of research and ended up finding 2 and 1/2 tons of spanishsilver burried by a captain who had too much commodities so he burried some of his least expensive (silver) I saw pics of the bars all dated and serialized by the captain and each one worth 18000$ specimen value.:shock:
