About

A display of 16th Century treasure from the wreck of the merchant vessel Ann Francis is on public display for the first time!

The discovery tells the dramatic story of treasure lost and found centuries apart.

Amongst the finds on display are several historical gold coins from the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, the Boatswain's whistle, and a fascinating combination lock from one of the wooden chests. The combination of this lock was a secret word, which remains to this day uncracked by all who've tried.
