...And in a couple of month a documentary will be shown on the French TV program Thalassa about the whole story and the intrigues surrounding it. You should be able to see this program worldwide on the cable TV5 (French though...!) a little bit after.

A book is also in preparation, will be probably out after the film. If you want to see pics of the treasure found, I invite you to check www.oceantreasures.org

Here is a sample of these pics.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but that's a beautiful toilet. Seriously.

Thanks for sharing the pics.

All the treasure was confiscated by the Italian authorities and I still don't know where and when they have the intention to show it to the public in a museum...

A few incredible artefacts were retrieved on the wreck, such as a small gold locket with the inscription on the edge : Cheveux de Napoléon (Napoleon's hair) or a magnificent gold broch with 48 emeralds incrusted in it, a gold cross with emeralds too and numerous pieces of jewelry including diamonds, pearls etc... Nothing to do with a the Spanish galleon coming from the New World, but what a treasure load...!

I am now staying in Indonesia, but quite diffficult nowadays to get the proper partners (financially and technically). If you have ideas write me a note to my email address.
