Revived romance of the Hispaniola Treasure story
In a 1920s style feature, Captain John D. Craig leads a Beloit College sponsored undersea expedition from Puerto Plata to Silver Shoals seeking the fabled Hispaniola Treasure. The tale traces the 17th century Phips voyage, royal rewards, and ongoing treasure hunts, while noting dangers of diving, coral, sharks and future dives.
