Bahamas List

[theGOLD]

Hey anybody have any good comprehensive lists of Bahamas shipwrecks? There was a really interesting thread in here about West coast Florida treasures. Fascinating. Im trying to compile a list of Shipwrecks in the Bahamas. I have quite a few interesting books on the subject, but I wonder what a combined list from everyone here would look like.

psst look at bob marx's book 's -- from 1994 ,1983 and 1971 for starters to add to your hunting list -- and save yourself many years of research .( why try to reinvent the wheel?) use his info to shorten your hunts.

just in the 1983 --shipwrecks in the americas (marx) -- page 314 to 342 --marx list 269 wrecks --from 1500 to 1825 time frame

some are "spanish treasure fleet vessels "-- while others are mere working trade vessels.

 

[Diver Down]

I'd get a hold of Galleon Hunter, his book list 577 entries for the Bahamas (more than 1,000 individual wrecks). I know he let my buddy Brad use his research on the D.R. for a project. Either send him a message via the forum or mad4wrecks probably has his contact information.

Just wait for the book by archaeologist Robert Westrick. It should be out soon. This comprehensive listing of shipwrecks will blow any current publication out of the water.

Hopefully it will be published within 3-6 months.

Tom,

When will the book be available?

Saw the word 'Santiago' there.

Reminder that there was a fake wreck called the "Santiago El Grande" that came up on this forum several times. There is no such wreck, should you encounter it.

Warm Regards

Have you seen Tony Jagger's A Shipwreck Guide to the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos 1500 to 1990 Vol. 1 [for Wreckdivers and Treasure Hunters] (Sarasota, Florida: 1994)? It's a 3-ring binder with wreck lists, wreck photos, charts, etc. Apparently 1,000 copies of the first edition were printed. I've never seen any more volumes or any other editions.

Folks here know far more about Bahamas wrecks than I do. I am curious if others have an opinion about the accuracy of this information.

Good luck to all,

New to this exciting site. You guys are very impressive. I can already feel my savings disappearing. I am a complete newbie (the nerve of me to be asking anything of you guys. But, they say the worst question is the one you failed to ask.) Can anyone refer me to a good resource for shipwrecks in the Gulf of Mexico, and particularly on the US side of the Gulf?? Also, is there a reference book that explains the legalities governing salvage rights for these types of old vessels? In essence, the issue is whether salvage rights when diluted by government intrusion continues to exceed the recovery investment. I apologize for the elementary nature of my inquiry, since this question surely has been asked and answered many times by such an active and adventurous group of individuals as yourselves. Thank you for allowing me onto this site, and for the opportunity to posture this inquiry.

Hello Lawrencio and welcome to Treasure net. You're right, there is a wealth of information on this web site. Just scroll down the old posts (like you did with this one) and you can find answers. Unfortunately your state (Texas) has the most restrictive laws regarding historic shipwrecks than any other state in the world. The Texas Historical Comission owns ALL the historic shipwrecks in Texas waters and absolutely no treasure hunting is allowed. The known wrecks like the 1554 fleet off Padre Island are closely watched and there is no diving allowed.
The THC does not have the funds to conduct a through salvage but they would rather let the treasure and artifacts rot then allow commercial treasure hunters to recover them.

[Galleon Hunter]

Of course this is just a basic list. I have more info on many of these vessels including tonnage, armament, captain names, sailing from where to where, cargo, how lost, where lost etc.

 

[stevemc]

I've got one for your list that is about 1810ish, dated aprox by lead sheathing, iron pig ballast, English broadheads on every bronze part and nail. PM me and I will get back to you.

 

[jeff k]

Just wait for the book by archaeologist Robert Westrick. It should be out soon. This comprehensive listing of shipwrecks will blow any current publication out of the water.

Hopefully it will be published within 3-6 months.

Tom

Tom... Did Robert Westrick ever publish his book?

 

[Salvor6]

No, he is still looking for a publisher.

 

[aquanut]

Robert you need to talk to signumops.

 

[Galleon Hunter]

John; thanks for the advice. I have discussed the book with signumops and he gave me some great advice. Also been communicating with Dave Crooks (www.sunkentreasurebooks.com)
who knows a lot about the pros and cons of various publishing routes. The sheer size of the information involved means that it will have to be produced in multiple volumes. Actually having the printing done in China might be a viable option. There are lots questions to ask when publishing a book of this magnitude. Traditional publisher vs. the self-publishing route, color photos vs. black and white photographs (of course color photos are going to increase the cost of the book) how many volumes to go with since my book is so many pages it will have to be published in several volumes, just how many I am not sure yet. (probably 4-5), hardback vs. soft bound, having it printed in China vs. having it printed in the good ole U.S.A. All of these factors each have pros and cons. So even right now I am not 100% certain of the cost of the book. I need to keep the cost low enough so that people will want to buy it.

Writing the book turned out to be the easy part. I have spent the last year getting permission to publish photographs from various museums, etc. Lots of good never before published photos and site plans. People like Burt Webber, Bob Marx, Gordon Watts, Richard Lawrence, Bob Burgess, Avery Munson, Eugene Lyon, Art Hartman, Chris James, Teddy Tucker, Ellsworth Boyd, Jack Haskins, Dr. Roger Smith, Gary Kozak, Joyce Hayward, Cris Kohl, Dr. Ron Molinari, Allan Saltus, John Broadwater, Lou Ullian, Steve Singer, Dave Crooks, Ernie Richards, Brad Dalton, Darren Talley, Dan Berg, Michael Barnette, Jim Miller, David Moore, Jason Nowell, Tommy Gore, Bob Weller, Bill Seliger Jr., Mo Molinar and a host of other have been gracious enough to provide photos, shipwreck information, advice, etc.

There are 5 manuscript copies in existence I sent out to reviewers. The most promising news is I have hired an literary agent and am making great strides now. It is still my goal to have this out by the Christmas or shortly thereafter.

Have you seen Tony Jagger's A Shipwreck Guide to the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos 1500 to 1990 Vol. 1 [for Wreckdivers and Treasure Hunters] (Sarasota, Florida: 1994)? It's a 3-ring binder with wreck lists, wreck photos, charts, etc. Apparently 1,000 copies of the first edition were printed. I've never seen any more volumes or any other editions.

Folks here know far more about Bahamas wrecks than I do. I am curious if others have an opinion about the accuracy of this information.

Good luck to all,

~The Old Bookaroo

It's kind of strange, the books are numbered and signed like art prints. Mine is 325 of 1000
