Peters Creek Historical Society welcomes Mike Drabick as its guest speaker on Monday, March 24 at 7:30PM at Wrights United Methodist Church, 788 Venetia Road, Venetia. His presentation will be on Mel Fisher (1922-1998), an Indiana chicken farmer, who became a world leader as an American treasure hunter in historic shipwreck recovery.  He spent decades hunting treasures in the Florida Keys and best known for finding the 1622 wreck of the ship "Nuestra Senora de Antocha" and other ships of the 1622 Spanish fleet lost in the keys during a hurricane, as well as the wreck of a slave ship, Henriette Marie.  Many of the found treasures that will be discussed are displayed in the Mel Fisher Treasure Museum in Sebastian, Fla. and the Mel Fisher Maritime Heritage Museum in Key West, Fla.  The public is welcome.
