Mel & Deos Playground – Giclee Limited Edition

This piece was created as a tribute to Mel Fisher’s biggest find, “Nuestra Senora de Atocha”. This ship as well as many other ships, sank during a large hurricane on September 5th, 1622. Of the more than 265 man crew, only 5 survived. 350 years later, Mel Fisher, his family and crew were able to find the treasures of this ship during the summer of 1985 off the shores of Florida Keys. The lives of 5 of Mel Fisher’s team tragically died, including his oldest son and wife.

To celebrate the lives of the 5 that survived and in memorial of the 5 that were lost, the artist, Wil Cormier, has hidden 5 seahorses in “Mel and Deo’s Playground”.

The “Atocha”, remains one of the greatest treasure finds of all time.
