The 1715 fleet was a Spanish convoy of twelve ships bound for Spain from Havana laden with a wealth of New World gold and silver. On Wednesday July 31, 1715, a devastating hurricane sank eleven of the fleet's ships off the east coast of Florida, in an area south of Melbourne to a point south of Fort Pierce. Millions of dollars in gold and silver cobs, ingots, and other treasures along with hundreds of lives were lost. Spanish salvage operations in the following years recovered much of the treasure, but the remaining riches rested on the ocean floor for almost 250 years until its discovery in the 1960's by Kip Wagner and the Real Eight Company along with their associate Mel Fisher. Certificates of Authenticity accompany all 1715 Fleet Shipwreck treasure coins. View a typical New World Treasures photo type Certificate of Authenticity.
