ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., July 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NetworkWire – Treasure & Shipwreck Recovery, Inc. (“TSR”) (currently trading as Beliss Corp.OTC: BLIS) has immediate operations that are planned by Dr. E. Lee Spence, Chief of Operations, off the coast of South Carolina and additional locations in the Caribbean for future operations.
Dr. Spence is currently in the West Indies conducting research on undisclosed wreck locations and history for potential operations. TSR has immediate work to begin on the Cape Romain site where Dr. Spence has ownership of a number of shipwrecks and cargos through a past United States District Court order. Although Dr. Spence has previously conducted work on some of these wrecks and brought up all sorts of valuable artifacts, ranging from rare 18th century gold jewelry and fragile crystal to iron cannons and flintlock pistols, he is convinced there is still much to be recovered. Dr. Spence is still trying to make a positive identification on one of the wrecks, but, if the ship is the one that he already believes it to be, it should make international news.
Dr. Spence is also examining some specific wreck sites in the coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea. He is focusing on high-value targets, such as Spanish merchant ships that were lost while traveling back to Spain with privately owned gold and silver from the Americas. As for the latter, he makes that distinction because those wrecks and their cargoes were not warships and were not owned by the king of Spain.
Over the past 50 plus years, Dr. Spence has built a large and truly unique private library and archive of rare books, maps, newspapers, manuscripts, and government documents relating to ship construction, shipping, sea-battles, pirates, shipwrecks, and treasure, allowing him to do research that is unmatched in his field.
For example, Dr. Spence has put together a 16 volume “encyclopedia” on shipwrecks of the Bahamas. It has information on literally thousands of wrecks, collectively backed up with over 8,500 footnotes, primarily from contemporary sources. He hasn’t published it only because he considers the information contained in it to be far too valuable to be sold for the small amounts that non-fiction books bring these days. And, if published, it would create unwanted competition.
It’s through this type of in-depth historical research, and his personal inspection of wreck sites, that Dr. Spence is selecting exactly which shipwrecks TSR should work first. Additional information on Dr. Spence and some of his past discoveries are available at www.shipwrecks.com/about-spence.
