- Brent_Brisben abstract "Brent W. Brisben (March 20) is an American treasure hunter best known for salvaging the shipwrecks of the historic 1715 Treasure Fleet. The 1715 Treasure Fleet was a Spanish treasure fleet returning from the New World to Spain. In the evening of July 30, 1715, seven days after departing from Havana, Cuba, eleven of the twelve ships of this fleet were lost in a hurricane near present day Vero Beach, Florida. Because the fleet was carrying silver, it is also known as the 1715 Plate Fleet (plata being the Spanish word for silver plate). Some artifacts and even coins still wash up on Florida beaches from time to time.Brisben and his father William O. Brisben founded 1715 Fleet - Queens Jewels, LLC in 2010. The Brisbens purchased the exclusive salvage rights to the 1715 Treasure Fleet from the heirs of world famous treasure hunter Mel Fisher. Just 17 days after the purchase, they recovered the only bronze swivel gun ever found on the 1715 Fleet. Hidden inside the bronze cannon were 51 gold escudos and 40 silver reales. Within a month of the cannon find, subcontractors of Brisben's company recovered one of the most amazing artifacts in the history of the 1715 fleet. The incredible "Pelican in Piety" was recovered by a mother/daughter team of treasure hunters working for Brisben's company and valued at $885,000. In July 2014, Brisben and his crew again made national headlines with the recovery of 51 gold escudos valued at $300,000. On Sept 1, 2014 a family of subcontractors recovered 50 feet of gold chain and 5 gold escudos valued at over $350,000.".
