What it is

Volume 6 of Richards's series, covering the 1733 Spanish treasure fleet — the New Spain fleet lost in a July 1733 hurricane off the Florida Keys, its wreck accounts and salvage history, and the Mexico City and Lima silver recovered from its wrecks.

Why it matters

The 1733 fleet is the other great Florida-reef treasure wreck group alongside the 1715 fleet, and its coins circulate widely on the market. This volume ties the wreck history to the coin types that come off it — the check a buyer needs before accepting a 1733-fleet attribution.

Who it's for

Collectors and researchers buying or cataloguing 1733 Fleet coins, and those working Florida Keys salvage history.
