SCHOONER WHARF�S MEL FISHER CELEBRATION
Trade treasure tales and
priceless memories of Key West�s King
July 14th
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 3 p.m.
Saturday, July 14th here at Schooner Wharf, 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 33rd Anniversary of Atocha�s
Mother Lode Discovery and the �good ole� days� by welcoming the 90' JB
Magruder treasure salvage vessel back to the docks behind Schooner
Wharf. For the second 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 treasure
diving and hear tales
of high-seas and high-stakes adventures from Mel�s Golden Crew,
current salvors and members of the Fisher family.
The
Dock Party will include a limited number of tours of the treasure
hunting boat are available between 4:30 and 7:00 pm. Advance
registration discount tickets are available now at
