About this Event

Tuesday, March 31, 2026 | 1pm – 2:30pm

Our last lecture was beyond full capacity… and now 𝐀𝐥 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐳 returns for one final presentation this season at the Elliott Museum.

Why is it called the Treasure Coast? The answer lies beneath the waves…

In 1715, a powerful hurricane sank an entire fleet of Spanish treasure ships just off our shores—scattering gold, silver, and priceless artifacts across the ocean floor. What followed was a frenzy of pirates, salvagers, and fortune seekers who risked everything to claim the riches.

Join Al Simbritz as he brings this incredible story to life and reveals:

The catastrophic storm that doomed the 1715 Spanish treasure fleet
The real Pirates of the Caribbean who came to Florida to “fish the wrecks”
Where the treasure went and whether it may still be waiting to be discovered

This is your chance to experience the true story behind one of the most legendary shipwreck events in American history, right here where it happened!
