Key West Museums
Our tiny island is so rich with history. And it shows with the sheer number of museums found in Key West. Here is as comprehensive list as I could put…
Mel Fisher, Key West Treasure Hunter
Mel Fisher was arguably the most famous treasure hunter in modern times. Probably because in 1985 he discovered the Atocha, a Spanish galleon that sank off of the Florida Keys in a hurricane in 1622. With over $450 million in treasures found so far from the wreck, including 40 tons of gold and silver, Pieces of Eight, emeralds, artifacts, and over 1000 bars of silver, Mel and his crew were known by everyone in our little island community.
