During the Summer 2008 season Odyssey has identified and filed admiralty arrests on two Colonial period shipwreck sites in the "Atlas" search area. For more information see our press release and our most recent operational update.
Odyssey has numerous shipwreck projects in various stages of development around the world. Our May 2007 recovery of over 500,000 silver coins weighing over 17 tons, worked gold, and other artifacts from the "Black Swan" site is believed to be the largest collection of coins ever recovered from a deep ocean site.

When is a United States coin NOT a United States coin? It's not a trick question, but an amazing fact of American history. The year 1861 saw the mintage of silver Seated Liberty Half Dollars at the New Orleans Mint by three sovereign governments: the Union, the State of Louisiana and the Confederate States of America. The recovery of a cache of these coins from the SS Republic provided the remarkable opportunity to determine which government produced each coin. And now you have an opportunity to acquire coins minted by each government!
