Book Synopsis On the Track of the Monmouth's Galleon---And Sunken Treasure by : John Stauffer Potter
Download or read book On the Track of the Monmouth's Galleon---And Sunken Treasure written by John Stauffer Potter and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-05-30 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a fast-paced mystery and detective story about a diving adventure to recover the treasure from a large Spanish galleon captured by the British warship HMS Monmouth in 1702. It had sunk after hitting a submerged rock during the battle off Vigo Bay, Spain. The book also vividly describes the dangers that the crew of the dive boat encountered. Interspersed are lively vignettes about celebrities that the author meets.This final book by John Potter details the pioneering thought patterns of the man who encountered onerous problems of open-ocean, deep-water salvage and solved them. It is a true-life work seasoned with the delicious spices of the glitterati, world events, and--occasionally--personal peccadilloes. His vignettes are lively and fun. Potter meets celebrities including Errol Flynn, Richard Burton and Andres Segovia. A significant event involved the sinking of the Ave del Mar off of Vigo in 1956. Twenty–five fishermen were lost. Potter and his crew spend three weeks searching the stormy ocean bottom for this wreck. Eventually they are able to recover twenty–three of the bodies. This was extremely important to the victims' families because they believe without a Christian burial it would be impossible for the souls of their loved one to travel to heaven.Stylistically, On the Track is impressive. The author's descriptions are vivid and his knowledge of European history encyclopedic. In all, it is a spellbinding story of shipwreck research, tenacity and the exciting search for one of Spaiobn's richest sunken treasures. Readers feel like they are part of the dive team. And, there is a fascinating ending to this story!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In real life-especially off the Florida coast-things can have fatal consequences. Fatal Treasure is a truly compelling read." -Aphrodite Jones, New York Times bestselling author of Cruel Sacrifice and All She Wanted In 1622, hundreds of people lost their lives to the curse of the Spanish galleon Atocha-and they would not be the last. Fatal Treasure combines the rousing adventure of Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea with the compelling characters and local color of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. It tells the powerful true story of the relentless quest to find the Atocha and reclaim her priceless treasures from the sea. You'll follow Mel Fisher, his family, and their intrepid team of treasure hunters as they dive beneath the treacherous waters of the Florida Straits and scour the ocean floor in search of gold, silver, and emeralds. And you'll discover that nearly four centuries after the shipwreck, the curse of the Atocha is still a deadly force. "On this day, the sea once again relinquished its hold on the riches and glory of seventeenth-century Spain. And by the grace of God, I would share the moment of glory . . . . I was reaching for my eighth emerald, another big one, when the invisible hands squeezed my trachea. In desperation, I clutched at my throat to pry away the enemy's fingers. But no one had hold of me." -From the Prologue
