Buenas tardes, soy nuevo en el Foro. En primer lugar quiero agradecer que me hayan aceptado en el mismo.

Estoy buscando la planimetría del Galeón El Nuestra Señora de Atocha, a ver si alguien puede facilitármela.

Muchas Gracias.

Hello and welcome to the forum

A friend of mine was the Executive Officer of a US Navy Salvage Tug, and a graduate of the US Navy Salvage Diver School.

Later as a successful business owner he was allowed by Mel Fisher to dive on the Atocha. He said that Fisher paid his divers with coins from the wreck. Many of these coins were spent in local bars.

A lot of them spent at "Sloppy Joes"!
I wonder if it was actually Mel Fisher... or maybe it was the local bar owners, wanting to collect on unpaid bar tabs, who truly coined the phrase "Today's The Day!" LOL
