	GovMint.com - The Legend of the Atocha
		The Atocha was one of the richest galleons of the Spanish fleet that set sail from Havana for Spain in 1622.
		In addition to bales of tobacco and indigo, she was loaded with 20 bronze cannons, 30,000 pounds of copper, 500 pounds of gold and 35 tons of silver — a cargo that by today’s standards would be in excess of $400 million.
		Buried in 26 feet of sand and silt, the Atocha was painstakingly uncovered by a “prop-wash,” a device which directs a boat propeller’s wash downwards, forcing clear water to the bottom and thus clearing sand and silt away from buried objects by creating prop-wash holes.

	The 1622 Fleet - Mel Fisher Maritime Heritage Society and Museum in Key West, Florida
		Atocha would have had the high sterncastle, low waist and high forecastle of a typical early 17th century galeón.
		Because the material had lain on the ocean floor for three and a half centuries, much of it was in an extremely unstable state; immediate preservation treatment was required to prevent its destruction after it left its saltwater tomb.
		A portion of the Atocha’s lower hull were examined and then recovered to be stored in a protected lagoon at the Florida Keys Community College, making them readily accessible to interested researchers.

		In her bowels the Atocha carried more than 47 troy tons of treasure, which lay among the bones of the galleon for over 350 years.
		In horror the passengers and crew of the Atocha watched as the Margarita, battered by 15 foot waves, was carried across a low-lying atoll to break apart in the shallows beyond.
		Moments later the Atocha was lifted by the huge seas and thrown on to the reef, ripping a large hole in her bow.

		Silver coins from the Atocha were measured in "reales," and are often called "pieces of eight." Most of the coins date from the late 1500s to about 1620.
		The coins from the Atocha and the 1715 fleet were crafted before the invention of the screw-press so each was made by hand, one at a time -- no two look quite the same.
		Thus, the gold of the Atocha could often be seen gleaming on the sea bottom throughout the wreckage.

	Forgotten Coins of Atocha - Mel Fisher Maritime Heritage Society and Museum in Key West, Florida
		In some respects, the maravedi was comparable to today's penny, and, considering the function of the galleons, their scarcity on the Atocha is not surprising.
		The copper coins that found their way onto the Atocha were most likely used as "pocket-change," and were for the normal transactions of the common-man. Their scarcity even then is a reflection of the infrequent use of money at this lower-level of exchange, which relied heavily on a system of bartering goods and services.
		None of the coins examined was minted in the New World, which is not unusual since, at the time of the Atocha's sinking, no copper ones had been struck there for over 60 years.
