ABOUT
THE SHIPWRECK
In September, 1985, world famous treasure hunter, Mel Fisher
found the fabulous $400,000,000 bounty of the 1622 shipwrecked
Spanish Galleon " Nuestra Senora De Atocha" in its
shallow, watery grave about 60 miles west of Key West, Fla.Mel
emerged as the folk hero who beat the odds, finding the richest
and most elusive shipwreck ever; at the same time defeating
the governmental powers determined to appropriate the treasure
he had given seventeen years of his life to find. The Atocha,
unquestionably, is the worlds most famous shipwreck, and Mel
Fisher, by far, the most celebrated treasure hunter to date.

ABOUT THE COMPANY
At about the same time, marketing executive, Jack Magné [pronounced
Monyea], who had followed Fisher's exploits in National Geographic
documentaries and national press coverages, wondered how a
King's Treasure [Philip IV], could be made available and affordable
to the average person. So far, all Magné had heard were stories
of wealthy investors and collectors buying up artifacts to
sock away in safe deposit boxes and bank vaults-- away from
the general public; in effect "burying the treasure all
over again". As fate would have it, Magné happened to
be attending a sales meeting in Las Vegas in 1987, where Fisher,across
town was presiding over an auction of many of the Atocha artifacts,
including 75 to 90 pound bars or ingots. Magné's visit that
day to the auction and chance meeting with Fisher resulted
in a new direction, and career- Treasure Sails Inc. was born.
Magné would become an early pioneer of the concept of casting
authentically designed Treasure Jewelry from actual bullion
[silver bars] recovered from the Atocha. At a subsequent meeting
in Key West, Fisher sold Jack the first of many silver ingots
and agreed to assist him in launching his line, including
appearances with Jack on TV in Pittsburgh and participation
with Jack on two TV infomercials on the J.C. Penney shopping
Channel in N. Hollywood, Ca The shows were incredible successes
and paved the way for Treasure Sail's entrance into the major Department Store business nationwide. Jack Magné now appears several times a year on the popular Shop NBC Shopping channel. |

LIL RED
I saw her by the wood shed
So small and quite alone
So lost and left abandoned
A search - without a home
I tried to turn away then
My conscience pushed aside
The kitten caught my eye and
She gently looked inside
The battle soon was over
It scarcely had begun
Lil Red had found her master
A place that she had won
Years ago this happened
Some say Lil Red has changed
This rumor is unfounded
I swear she’s still the same
Her red coat hasn’t faded
She’s quick and in command
And still the little kitten
I once held in my hand
