Captain Jerry Murphy has been commercial fishing his entire life. In 1992, when he was the captain of the ‘mistake’, he found the El Cazador, a Spanish ship wreck that sank in 1784. After finding the treasure, they did 3 different excavation efforts and recovered over 12,000 pounds of silver coins from the wreck site! Captain Jerry Murphy was an incredible story teller. In the beginning, he tells a story about how he capsized a vessel that he built, and after that he gets into how he became the captain of the mistake and how he ended up finding the treasure! Enjoy!
