Oceans Odyssey 3. The Deep Sea Tortugas Shipwreck, Straits of Florida. A Merchant Vessel From Spain’s 1622 Tierra Firme Fleet
In “Oceans Odyssey 3: The Deep Sea Tortugas Shipwreck, Straits of Florida,” acclaimed maritime archaeologists Sean A. Kingsley and Greg Stemm take readers on an extraordinary journey to the depths of the ocean, uncovering the secrets of a long-lost merchant vessel from Spain’s 1622 Tierra Firme Fleet.
The story begins with the tragic events of July 31, 1622, when a violent hurricane struck the Florida Straits, causing the sinking of the Tierra Firme Fleet. Among the ships lost was the Tortugas, a Spanish merchant vessel carrying a precious cargo of silver, gold, and other valuable goods destined for the Spanish Crown. For centuries, the wreckage of the Tortugas remained hidden beneath the ocean’s surface, its story lost to time.
However, in 2015, Kingsley and Stemm, founders of the acclaimed underwater exploration company Odyssey Marine Exploration, embarked on a daring mission to locate and excavate the Tortugas. Armed with cutting-edge technology and a deep passion for maritime history, the team set out to uncover the mysteries that lay beneath the waves.
Through meticulous research, Kingsley and Stemm paint a vivid picture of the historical context surrounding the Tortugas and the broader Tierra Firme Fleet. They delve into the political, economic, and cultural factors that shaped Spain’s colonial ambitions and explore the intricate web of trade routes that connected the Old.
