Watch List notes:

Original 16 mm film from the early 1970s entitled "Treasure Salvors of the Florida Keys." Metal canister 12-1/2" in diameter. This is an original color film (16 mm), about a half hour long, written by Joseph Keyerleber and produced by Mel Fisher and his company in the early 1970s to attract investors in the search for the Atocha by providing an overview of their work to that point. The film starts with narrative about the 1733 Fleet disaster against a background of Spanish guitar music, then alternates with dialogue between Fisher and his divers, starting with their original operation on the 1715 Fleet in Vero Beach, Florida, and then their move to Key West to search for the Atocha, during which time they salvage a 1733 Fleet ship (with cameo performances by Tom Gurr and Mendel Peterson), featuring numerous underwater scenes. Also included is the original metal canister containing the film. Pedigreed to Sedwick Auction 2 with original lot-sticker 508.

Estimate: $700 - $1000
