Atocha Sister Ship \"1622 Fleet\" Shipwreck Artifact \"Tortugas Wreck\" W/COA Scarce:
$195.00

Up for your consideration is this authentic 400 year old shipwreck artifact recovered off one of the ships of the 1622 Fleet lost in a hurricane off Key West in September of 1622.


The artifact is the large top of a Spanish olive jar and was recovered off what has been nicknamed the \"Tortugas Wreck\" which was one of the Spanish galleons which was in the same fleet as the \"Atocha\" and the \"Margarita\" when they were struck by a hurricane in September 22, 1622.


Historically, the world’s first comprehensive deep-sea wreck excavation conducted by ROV. Identified by geographical location, artifacts’ characterization and comparison to a Tierra Firme fleet vessel sunk during the hurricane of 5-6 September 1622. The most plausible candidate is the 117-ton Portuguese-built and Spanish-operated \"Buen Jesús y Nuestra Señora del Rosario\" owned by Juan de la Torre and captained by shipmaster Manuel Diaz that had sailed for Nueva Cordoba (Cumana) on the Pearl Coast in modern Venezuela and was inbound for Seville. Most conclusively though, the wreck has been identified as the \"Nuestra Senora de Consolacion \" which was traveling with the \"Nuestra Senora de Atocha\" and the \"Nuestra Senora de Margarita.\"


Very few artifacts were offered for sale on the open market from this particular wreck so this a great chance to add a nice piece from a scarce 1622 Fleet wreck.


The artifact comes with a display stand and it\'s original numbered certificate of authenticity from the salvage company which matches the I. D.  number on the he artifact.
