Ship's riches not in Tampa
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: September 13, 2009
So where is the treasure from the Black Swan?
Odyssey Marine found it. Spain claims it as government property. After Odyssey recovered the coins from the ocean floor, company officials flew in the dark of night May 17, 2007, on a private charter jet from Gibraltar to Tampa. Now,
$500 million in gold and silver coins is packed in an undisclosed location.
Odyssey officials will say this: The gold is not in Tampa. It's at a secure coin conservation company's vault somewhere in Florida, locked behind many large steel doors and waiting for a court to name its rightful owner.
