SS Republic Shipwreck Treasure at Tampa Museum

[PaPa-Joe-Fla.]

I went with my Daughter and granddaughter today ,they wanted to show me an exhibit at MOSI (museum of sciences and industry) in Tampa . The Odyssey Marine Exploration group out of Tampa had an exhibit from the Civil war ship SS Republic, there were plenty of artifacts, jars of food, tools and tons of loot. They have a real nice set up , you can run the mechanical arms for the subs, and maneuver the cameras Thur the shipwreck. This wreck was located 100 miles off shore from Ga. in over a 1000 ft. of water. No pics. were allowed. Did not want to get in trouble with my Granddaughter with me ,but I just couldn't help myself, so here is a couple that looked interesting to me. .

THOUGHT GH WOULD LIKE THIS BAR, FROM TORTUGA'S WRECK, NEAR KEY WEST.

A CLUSTER OF SILVER COINS, WONDER HOW THAT WOULD SOUND WITH THE EXCAL?

A ghost town has more going on than Clearwater beach. South beach Parking lot 75% closed while they build the walkway.
