priceless cargo. Join modern day treasure-hunter Mel Fisher who, after a 16 year search,
found the riches that so many have sought.

The Quest For The Maravillas
Marx had researched and hunted for
treasure all over the world, both onshore and off, before coming across nautical charts in
the archives in Seville which gave the location of the Maravillas and
included a cargo manifest. Those records eventually led to his discovery of the bow
section of the Maravillsa in May, 1972, but disputes arose with the Bahamian government
and salvage attempt was abandoned. Fourteen years later a new contract was negotiated by
Captain Herbert Humphreys Jr. which promised a quarter share of everything salvaged to the
Bahamian government in return for their protection of his research vessel.
