A little FYI McFly, research files have an author, so whoever told KK the size of an anchor determines the amount of treasure understandably didn’t want to have his/her name out there.
GL finding the first trinket. Anything is possible….potentially.
Juno Beach
The Company has previously performed some exploration and recovery operations at what it believes to be a shipwreck site located off of the coast of Florida in northern Palm Beach County, more specifically in an area known as “Juno Beach” (the “Juno Beach Shipwreck”). The Company had previously obtained a recovery permit from the State of Florida for the Juno Beach site. The recovery permit expired in April of 2014. In March of 2015, Seafarer was awarded full rights to the Juno site pursuant to a court order, erasing all rights of the Company’s previous partner with regards to the site. The Juno site was arrested permanently to Seafarer by the U.S. Marshal’s offices in July of 2017 and in November 2017 the Company was granted final judgment on its federal admiralty claim for the Juno Beach shipwreck site (See Item 3 below).
From November 2017 until July 2021, the FBAR hadrequested that Seafarer submit new recovery permit applications on three separate occassions. Two of the recovery applications were denied for reasons Seafarer found objectionable. After submitting the third recovery application, the FBAR correctly determined that they did not have the authority to issue the recovery permit all along because the U.S. Government gave the Juno site solely, truly, and exclusively to Seafarer by way of an Admiralty Claim. The Admiralty Claim was originally provided to FBAR in November 2017. However, FBAR delayed Seafarer’s operations from continuing in Juno Beach until July 2021, a period of approximately three years and eight months.
The Company believes it is possible the Juno Beach Shipwreck site may potentially contain remnants of a sunken 1500s era ship; however, the Company does not have definitive evidence of the ship’s country of origin. Due to the fact that the Company does not currently have sufficient data to positively identify the potential Juno Beach shipwreck, or its country of origin, it is not possible to determine whether or not the ship was originally carrying cargo of any significant value.
With data from the Master Site Plan from entries by a Florida state archaeologist from 1988 who has since retired, which were withheld from Seafarer for several years, Seafarer feels more confident a 1500s era shipwreck is quite possibly within our Admiralty Claim in Juno Beach, although we do not know whether it contained anything of value. The Company has determined that a large portion of the magnetometer survey of the Juno Beach Shipwreck site that was originally provided by the Company’s past partner on the site was intentionally deleted. A lot of shipwreck material and remnants including pottery, cannon balls, musket balls, ballast stones, nails, spikes, wood and scattered pieces of a sunken ship have all been found in the deleted area of a magnetometer survey.
The Company will attempt to complete a SeaSearcher survey of the entire deleted area when certain conditions are met. There is also a possibility that there are no artifacts of significant value located at the Juno Beach shipwreck site. Even if there are valuable artifacts and/or treasure located at the site, recovering them may be difficult due to a variety of challenges that include, but are not limited to; inclement weather, hazardous ocean conditions, large amounts of sand that cover large areas of the site, strong multiple layer currents etc.
