Four of the shipwrecks are 1733 Spanish treasure galleons, one is a British warship that sank in 1695, and the last is an American warship that sank in 1822. Each shipwreck is precisely located with charts and photographs of land bearings taken from the site. A number of color photographs include treasures recovered.
