TAMPA - Florida deep-sea explorers who struck it rich
in 2007 on the wreck of a Spanish galleon say they
have found two more shipwrecks in the north
Atlantic Ocean.
Odyssey Marine Exploration filed documents in Tampa
federal court Wednesday seeking exclusive salvage
rights to the unnamed wrecks found more than 300
miles outside the English Channel. The company
believes both sites could yield valuable cargo.
The Tampa-based company salvaged what could be the
richest shipwreck in history in the spring of 2007
in the Atlantic off Portugal. It brought home an
estimated $500 million in silver coins and other
artifacts from the galleon.
The Spanish government is battling Odyssey in U.S.
federal court over ownership of the treasure.
