Treasure & Shipwreck Recovery, Inc. announcing that with the acquisition of its new vessel M/V Bottomline, as well as a supporting vessel, TSR is ready to enter its third season for treasure recovery off the proven wreck sites of 1715 Fleet vessels off the East Coast of Florida beginning in April 2023. During the past two seasons in both 2021 and 2022, TSR using single crews in the prior two years and single vessels has had successful recoveries of treasure and artifacts, that now will be more than doubled as TSR will use not only the specifically designed Bottomline exceptionally outfitted for treasure finding and recovery of the known, proven 1715 fleet area. The area is rich with numerous finds still to be found and will be explored in areas untouched, and even those that have been searched are full of other artifacts and treasure that the ocean exposes after storms and shifting of the undersea area.

Most of all, with the acquisition of the Bottomline, TSR expects that since it was built out and outfitted by its current new Captain will be a leader in finding treasure among all those who are contracted to find treasure in the area. 11 ships of the 1715 Fleet went down on the single night of July 30, 1715, and their official manifests were well documented for the Spanish crown. What is more is that the vessels carried what was carried unofficially by the crew and passengers, such as massive quantities of jewelry and other items so that they could not be taxed by the crown on arrival in Spain.

Many experts see this "contraband" carried as potentially as much or more than those items on the official manifests. What is certain is that tens to hundreds of millions of dollars of jewels, coins and artifacts remain on the sea floor to be found. The Company acquired the Motor Vessel "Bottomline," a 36 foot Chris Craft Commander, with dual super-charged engines and dual props, with built out blowers for each propeller for treasure recovery, along with numerous other equipment pieces for operations including detection and dive equipment.

As well the Company acquired a 17 foot whaler to add to the fleet for operations with the Bottomline, acting as an anchor and diver vessel.
