Houston, TX, April 29, 2009 — Master Merchant Marine and salvage consultant, Captain Tom Williams pens tense tale of lost sunken treasure and asks the forbidden questions: how are all the lost and ancient shipwreck sites suddenly being found? And should any international laws apply to deep water salvage?
Odyssey, a deep-sea exploration team based in Tampa Florida announced in May 2007 that they had found the shipwreck of a Spanish Galleon. The “Nuestra Senora de las Mercedes y las Animas” which sank near the Portuguese coast in 1804, has reportedly yielded 17 tons of salvaged silver from the Atlantic Ocean seafloor.
The British warship HMS Victory was reported found by the same Odyssey group in February 2009, after sinking with all hands in 1744. This lost shipwreck is expected to yield 4 tons of gold from 330 feet below the English Channel.
Greg Stemm, co-founder of the Odyssey Marine Exploration team announced there is a secret warehouse somewhere in Florida that contains an undisclosed amount of recovered lost treasure.
With the discovery of the Spanish Galleon in 2007, and the subsequent find of HMS Victory, a simple question has surfaced; asked by the a uthor of the breakout novel Lost and Found.
“Lost and Found” is an exciting new novel by Tom Williams that has been receiving many incredible reviews and national acclaim, but has someone really used a geological survey satellite and found all the lost shipwrecks that still contain silver or gold?
Does the ultimate treasure map now exist? Are all the lost treasure fleets undiscovered for centuries now identified and located with specific GPS coordinates? Can these wreck sites be salvaged legally, or can a US Judge make a ruling on undersea artifacts as in the pending case of the Titanic.
Some in the Spanish government have called the Florida based treasure hunters “21st Century Pirates,” but no one is asking the pertinent questions: How are these lost ships being found? Moreover, how many more have already been found and scheduled for salvage and will these continuing undersea operations be deemed legal.
Can the recent find of the Spanish Galleon worth 500 million, and HMS Victory with four tons of gold onboard be linked to a new and highly secret technology? Have all the other lost treasure ships around the world already been found by an orbiting satellite? Could the price of precious metals plummet if suddenly every lost treasure ship undiscovered for centuries was available for instant salvage?
Could Captain Tom Williams’ novel Lost and Found be the fictitious thriller that has turned to fact? It certainly sounds like it.

Showing some really like to this topic “new to this wordpress”. I defiantly concur with it also. If you truly think of it than everything creates alot of sense
Oh give me a break. If Odessey was backed by a University everyone would love them for their historical work. But then they would not have the resources to properly deal with the wreck.
So they are a for profit company- that just means they have to be very careful and go futher in terms of preservation than any non-profit would ever have to.
Most museums can’t properly store all the material they have now. So might it not be better if the X thoughand near idential coins are properly photographed and put into a great database that can easily be acessed, and all of it paid for by people who have a real interest in the history, than it all sit in the basement storeroom of some “proper” facility never to see the light of day.
No, I don’t work for them, and am in fact, a historian myself. I have seen too many thigns vanish to time becasue the non-profits just don’t have the money!
