The exhibit provides guests a close-up encounter with the artifacts recovered by Odyssey Marine Exploration. Some of the archaeological excavation, the first of its kind ever conducted at such depths, produced more than 51,000 gold and silver coins and nearly 14,000 artifacts--a wealth of mid-19th century trade goods hidden on the ocean floor for over a century. Coins, bottles, personal effects, on-board items, and pieces of the vessel are on display in the exhibit.
