Mel Fisher's Treasure Museum
Mel Fisher's Treasure Museum is an undersea archaeology museum founded by Mel Fisher, the man who searched for treasure along the Florida coast for 16 years before striking it rich. His motto was "Today's the day", and his dream came true on July 20th, 1985 when his team found the remains of the Spanish Galleon "Nuestra Senora de Atocha" which sank off of Key West in 1622. In 1992 the Mel Fisher Maritime Museum opened the The Last Slave Ships exhibit to tell the story of three slave ships brought to Key West in 1860. The museum displays some of the many valuable gold, silver and jeweled pieces from the Nuestra Senora and others discovered by Fisher and his family.
