DEEP SEA DIVER ARTHUR McKEE Holding a 75-lb bar of coral incrusted silver bullion; one of three he recovered from the rotted hull of an Spanish galleon wrecked on a reef "East of Key Largo". One bar was purchased by the Smithsonian Institute at Washington, D.C., FOR $1000. The remaining bars are on exhibit at McKee's Museum of Sunken Treasure, 5 miles south of Tavernier, FL., at Treasure Harbor, U.S.1, on Plantation Key. Glass -in - bottom boat trips enable you to actually view deep sea divers at work at the wreak site of an ancient Spanish galleon! Also the beautiful undersea marine gardens. |
