SCHOONER WHARF�S MEL FISHER CELEBRATION
Today�s the Day � To Celebrate Mel!!! Thursday, July 10th
Trade treasure tales and priceless memories of Key West�s King

Spend a golden day at Schooner Wharf Bar, where Spanish galleons, treasure hunting ships, golden discoveries and priceless memories of the man who made it all happen � Mel Fisher � are on tap for this year�s Dock Party to kick off Mel Fisher Days.

The celebration of Key West�s golden dream weaver begins at 11 a.m. Thursday, July 10th at Schooner Wharf Bar, where Mel Fisher �made his mark,� when his handprints were cast in a special mold and a section of the bar top is dedicated to his achievements.

Although it took Mel years to find the $400 million mother lode of the Spanish galleon Nuestra Senora de Atocha, it never took him long to find his friends at Schooner Wharf, where he could share his stories while keeping a sharp eye on the water that held the riches he was seeking.

This year�s Dock Party will celebrate the �good ole� days� by welcoming the JB Magruder treasure salvage vessel back to the docks behind Schooner Wharf. For the first time since the 1980s, the 100-foot working vessel will be on display downtown, showing off the latest treasure-finding technology that scours the ocean floor for centuries-old coins, gold bars, gold chains, emeralds and silver ingots.

Meet the Atocha divers and Magruder crew as they return from a day of treasure diving and hear tales of high-seas and high-stakes adventures from Atocha alumni and members of the Fisher family.

The Dock Party will include video footage of recent salvage operations, a book-signing by Fisher family members, 50/50 raffle and you can take a chance to win a Grade 3 Atocha coin valued at $1,400 with the popular �Have your Cake and Eat it Too� raffle.

Join the party Sunday, July 13th and enjoy Malibu Rum drink specials and Frank Everhart, Jr.�s special brand of up close and personal bar magic, starting at 6 p.m.
