( visible in this chart-drawing just above the lower right corner)Nuestra Senora de Atocha was built in Habana in 1620 and sank about 70 Km West of Key West, in the Dry Tortugas area, on September 6, 1622. Loaded with Gold, Silver, Pearls, Copper, Emeralds and a military cargo, she was found, after 16 years of incredible hard work and determination, by treasure hunter Mel Fisher and his "Golden Crew" on July 20 1985.Nuestra Senora de Atocha displaced 550 tons, had an OL of 112 ft and a beam of 34 ft. She was rigged with square sails on the Foremast and the Mainmast and with a Lateen sail on the Mizzen. The bowsprit had one square sail.This print is a convenient 8" x 10" in size to be easily framed.  It is jet ink printed and  signed and dated. More than just a print!
