worth of gold and silver from a Spanish galleon

"phenomenal" new treasures in the wreckage of
five more ships 300 miles away.
"After spending the whole day out here off Key

who heads Fishers operations in Fort Pierce.
The haul included a "magnificant" double-
handled gold cup etched with rabbits and
peacocks, hundreds of gold doubloons worth $5,000
each and a gold snake bracelet with emeralds for
eyes.
On Saturday, Fisher and his Treasure Salvors
Inc. ended an elusive 15-year search, discover-
ing the "mother lode" of treasure from the royal
Spanish galleon Nuestra Senora de Atocha, which
sank off the coast of Key West in a hurricane in
1622. It was the richest vessel ever to sink in U.S.
Waters.

He said that while he isn't a mem-

Bailey said that "how researchers in
different areas of the University work

not the only thing we're concerned
about, though. But it's a question wor-

Frye and Sussman's instructions to
the committee also deals with
whether to change the institute's fun-

exist as an autonomous unit.
The charge states that if the com-

necessary, then perhaps "only certain
of the existing sub-units should
remain under the aegis of the In-
stitute."
