SCHOONER WHARF�S MEL FISHER CELEBRATION
Trade treasure tales and priceless memories of Key West�s King
July 14th

 

Mel Fisher Days at the Schooner Wharf
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 for Mel Fisher Days.

The celebration of Key West�s golden dream weaver begins at 3 p.m. Saturday, July 13th 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 34th Anniversary of Atocha�s Mother Lode Discovery and the �good ol� days� by welcoming the 90' JB Magruder treasure salvage vessel back to the docks behind Schooner Wharf. For the third 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 and are available between 4:30 and 6:30 p.m. Advance registration discount tickets are available at MelFisherDays.com.

Attendees will have a chance to win cash with the 50/50 raffle. Take a chance to win a Santa Margarita Pearl in the popular �Have Your Cake and Eat it Too� raffle at 4:30 p.m. During the party, there will also be live treasure auctions to participate in and a HUGE silent auction!
