Seafarer Secures Revenue From Second Government Agency Contract

TAMPA, Fla., April 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Seafarer Exploration Corp. (OTCQB: SFRX) and Blockchain Logistech, LLC are pleased to announce a new and additional U.S. government agency has secured the services of their strategic partner Probability and Statistics, Inc. (P&S). P&S has been engaged to create and service a government agency project for the next 12 months and beyond. The purchase order is the second of other planned projects to service a group of U.S. government agencies.

Seafarer CEO Kyle Kennedy commented, “The significance of a different U.S. government agency being recruited by Seafarer to contract with P&S demonstrates the validity of the business model to build multiple revenue streams for Seafarer. Attracting these government contracts is wonderful for Seafarer shareholders and I expect them to continue to expand. But this is still the beginning as I anticipate encryption work from other business sectors outside of government entities.”

Kennedy added, “P&S has been an amazing business partner who understands the needs and nuances of a complicated, diverse and secretive clientele. The solutions offered by P&S are tailored to meet the extremely high demands of some of the most sophisticated and technologically advanced agencies in the world.”

Don Beavers, CEO of P&S, stated, “Probability and Statistics, is pleased to have received this additional government agency contract through the efforts of the Blockchain LogisTech team at Seafarer. This is the second of a total of six pending Federal level contracts for this year. We are also anticipating the awarding of Seafarer’s first State-level contract sometime in the third quarter. What an incredible first year for our strategic partnership! These additional contracts should begin providing ongoing monthly revenues to Seafarer within the next few months and these types of contracts can often renew for multiple years.”

All work will be conducted under the terms of an exploration permit issued by the Florida Department of State, Bureau of Archaeological Research, Division of Historical Resources.

While I am restricted from commenting on specific details, the initial purchase order will pay Seafarer a small fixed revenue monthly for 12 months and then a maintenance package after that. I have stated for some time now in our filings and in public that it is the Company’s intent to build revenues with P&S through blockchain encryption and other related services.

I am tremendously thankful for the dedication, persistence, and professionalism of everyone at P&S, especially Donald Beavers and their Director of Software Development James Kreigh.”

Uptick Newswire Hosts Probability and Statistics, Inc., on the Stock Day Podcast to Discuss Their Partnership with (SFRX) and the Future of the Company

PHOENIX, Feb 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) -- PHOENIX, Feb. 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Uptick Newswire Stock Day Podcast welcomed a partner of Seafarer Exploration (SFRX), a publicly traded underwater salvage and exploration company. Don Beavers, the President and CEO of Probability and Statistics, Inc., joined Stock Day host Everett Jolly to discuss their partnership with Seafarer Exploration.

Jolly began the interview by announcing to listeners that the Stock Day Podcast will be hosting a five-part special on Seafarer Exploration. Just five days ago Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Michael Torres, appeared on the Stock Day show.

Jolly then asked Beavers to share some insight into the partnership between Probability and Statistics, Inc. (P&S) and Seafarer Exploration. Beavers stated, "We started working with Seafarer last year, they're an undersea exploration company. We do a lot of high-end computational mathematics and technology integration, and we saw some opportunities to work with them. They've got a great company and we've got some technologies that really fit into what they do."

Beavers further explained that Probability and Statistics, Inc. mainly specializes in the aerospace industry, compared to Seafarer which specializes in undersea exploration.

Surprisingly, these industries have a lot in common including similar mathematical applications. The partnership between these two companies will allow Probability and Statistics, Inc. to help Seafarer Exploration track debris fields and determine the most likely location of wreckage spots. Additionally, Probability and Statistics, Inc. has extensive experience in blockchain technology which benefits the Company's search for rare metals.

Beavers also shared that P&S is also helping Seafarer Exploration develop new sensor technology that allows them to find non-ferrous metals at a much greater distance than ever before. "We have a pretty impressive engineering department here and we have some really talented scientists, and we're helping Seafarer Exploration make this part of the job a lot easier," stated Beavers.

Beavers added, "Our goal is to make Seafarer the most advanced company, technologically, out there." He continued by sharing his excitement for their partnership with Seafarer Exploration and the technology that P&S will be able to share with them. Beavers then closed by stating his amazement for the Company's findings and his own personal enjoyment in participating in the search for treasure.

Seafarer Announces Share Exchange with Probability & Statistics

TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Seafarer Exploration Corporation is pleased to announce a share exchange of 60 million restricted common shares for 10,000 non-dilutive common shares of the private company Probabilities and Statistics, Inc. (P&S). Seafarer has received a one percent position in P&S.      

Kyle Kennedy, CEO of SFRX, stated, "This is the first major step in building a strong symbiotic relationship with a cutting-edge technology company. P&S has the capacity to take us to a new level of technological development and ultimately potential revenues. A carefully designed program has been created between P&S and Seafarer to both monetize emerging technologies and engage Seafarer to be compensated for directing private and public companies who wish to utilize blockchain encryption to P&S for their services. P&S is a leader in blockchain encryption and already works with government, aerospace, defense contractors, banks and industries in a high-tech research, development and support role. Nobody in our industry sector remotely comes close to what Seafarer is doing. We already set the bar in everything we do, but P&S can take us into a space that far exceeds our expectations and industry norms." 

Kennedy continued, "P&S has an exceptional team of scientists and engineers who can further propel our own development of technology in specialized equipment to advance our proprietary designs. Additionally, P&S has innovative computing and modeling systems which utilize a type of artificial intelligence to maximize effectiveness through its proprietary advanced algorithms. To our knowledge and extensive research, no one compares to P&S."

Mr. Kennedy added, "While ongoing upgrades to the Iron Maiden have limited the number of working days, combined with fewer days of seas under three feet, we have continued to work and find shipwreck material. We appear to have shipwreck debris from the early 1700s, but the area is large and will require more work."

Don Beavers, president of P&S, stated, "Probability and Statistics is very excited about proceeding with Seafarer Exploration on multiple projects including blockchain applications, engineering support, topographic modeling, sensor recording and analysis, and other relevant advanced technology integration. Our experience in aerospace and engineering directly translates to new and exciting opportunities in the undersea world. Combining our advanced computing with Seafarer's exploration experience brings significant potential for success. Our blockchain data systems could also provide a competitive advantage for Seafarer in both data and security. We also believe that Seafarers existing partnerships and alliances, developed over many years, will lead to potential new projects and revenues for both corporations. Our equity exchange is based, from our point of view, on the belief that our technology could push Seafarer to the very forefront of sub-aquatic exploration and its related industries and bring new revenue opportunities to both entities." 






Seafarer Exploration Pulls Up Exciting Artifacts During First Dive at Cape Canaveral Shipwreck Site

8/11/14, 9:00 AM
TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Seafarer Exploration Corporation (OTCQB: SFRX), a company focused on archeologically sensitive exploration, research and recovery of historic shipwrecks announced today that their first dive at a newly permitted shipwreck site near Cape Canaveral, FL has already yielded some very exciting artifacts.  The site is believed to contain the remnants of a ship from the early colonial era (1500-1700) and artifacts retrieved during the first dive appear to reinforce that notion.  Specifically, divers extracted what appears to be a colonial era cannon measuring 2.46 meters long and 40 centimeters at its widest point that would have been used to protect the ship and its contents. In addition some wood, spikes, and other encrusted objects have already been found.

"This is absolutely fantastic!" exclaimed Kyle Kennedy, CEO of Seafarer. "We have worked several sites for months with less to show, so to find artifacts of material value on our first day is absolutely extraordinary.  We're very excited about the future of this site."   

James Sinclair, underwater archaeologist, added "I am very pleased we are finding shipwreck-related material so quickly on this site. We will examine the cannon and other artifacts to try to determine the identity of the wreck, but as of right now the combined artifacts suggest a possible Spanish ship from the colonial era."

Mr. Kennedy continued, "I am very thankful to our crew, project manager Terry Tate, Captain Alexander Javorsky, Levin Shavers, Aaron Cartwright, Mike Renfro, Michael Brownstein, and Jonathon Tate for their dedication, hard work, and commitment to adhere to archaeological guidelines. We are all very optimistic about this site but we still have a lot of testing and exploration to do to find more of this shipwreck. We have moved significantly closer to providing the Florida Bureau of Archaeological Research two of the three pieces needed for conversion of our dig and identify permit to a full recovery permit."

Terry Tate, project manager commented "I can hardly believe I felt the cannon as I pushed my hand through the sand on one of the mag targets we had analyzed. This is the first canon I have ever found, and I hope finding it on our first day of testing is a good omen."

Mr. Kennedy finished by stating, "While we certainly like our start on this site, we are continuing to research other potential shipwreck sites, and have started paperwork on a fourth site of a known treasure shipwreck which has not been salvaged. We are committed to both strict adherence to archaeological guidelines and conservation, and to building shareholder value."

Seafarer to Begin Excavation of Shipwreck Site Located Off of Lantana Beach, Florida

Jun 20, 2013 (ACCESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Receipt of Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Easement Clears Way for Excavation to Begin on June 20th, 2013
TAMPA, FL June 20th, 2013 — Seafarer Exploration Corp. (OTCQB: SFRX), a company focused on the archaeology and research of historic shipwrecks, has crossed the final hurdles relating to the proposed excavation of a shipwreck site located off of Lantana Beach, FL with the recent receipt of a permit from the U.S Army Corps of Engineers and an underwater easement agreement from the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund. The permit from the U.S Army Corps of Engineers, a five-year approval ending on June 18th, 2018, represents the last step in Seafarer's quest to excavate this exciting shipwreck site and that effort will begin in earnest on June 20th, 2013.

Seafarer received an initial permit from the State of Florida for a shipwreck site located off of Lantana Beach, Florida in 2012. The site has recently been surveyed using a Geometrics 882 Cesium Vapor Magnetometer and this survey work showed compelling evidence that a large part of the ship lies buried in a relatively compacted area. Having completed phase I of the mapping survey and underwater video, Seafarer is now beginning phase II known as digging and identifying the wreck. Items found and documented on this site in past explorations by third parties suggest the wreck might be a French or Spanish ship from the late 1600s however it will require significantly more work and time to determine what is actually contained on the site.

Kyle Kennedy, CEO of Seafarer, commented, "We wish to thank all of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers personnel, especially Melody White, who worked diligently on our permit until it was completed. With the final step in place, including the easement, we can now begin to focus our efforts on discovering the wreck site. We understand the great responsibility placed upon us and will strive to do our best and to exceed expectations."

Alexander Javorsky, captain of the Iron Maiden, stated, "We have the ship fine-tuned and operating very smoothly. We have assembled a competent, honest crew ready to work, which I am proud to be part of. The excitement of the crew is overwhelming, and we are eager to begin excavation."

Seafarer Receives Department Of Environmental Protection Permit

New permit is an important step in the excavation process of a shipwreck site located off of Lantana Beach Florida

TAMPA, Fla., June 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Seafarer Exploration Corp. (SFRX), a company focused on the archaeology and research of historic shipwrecks, has received an Environmental Resources Permit relating to the proposed excavation of a shipwreck site located off of Lantana Beach, FL.  The permit was issued pursuant to Part IV of Chapter 373, Florida Statutes and Title 62, Florida Administrative Code from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and represents an important step in Seafarer's quest to excavate this exciting shipwreck site.

Seafarer received a permit from the State of Florida for a shipwreck site located off of Lantana Beach, Florida in 2012. The site has recently been surveyed using a Geometrics 882 Cesium Vapor Magnetometer and this survey work showed compelling evidence that a large part of the ship lies buried in a relatively compacted area.  Having completed phase I of the mapping survey and underwater video, Seafarer is preparing to begin digging and identifying the wreck and the DEP permit is an important step in that process. Items found and documented on this site in past explorations by third parties suggest the wreck could be a French or Spanish ship from the late 1600s but it will require more work to determine with accuracy what is actually contained on the site.

"We are certainly happy to be one step closer to being able to explore and identify cultural material of the Lantana site" said Kyle Kennedy, CEO of Seafarer.  "I want to personally thank the hard working individuals of the DEP who thoroughly dove, investigated and processed our 2nd site, Lantana; with special thanks to Benny Luedike who advised and proactively managed all aspects of processing the permit. I also want to thank our own Joe Albert for his continual diligence and work ethic toward completion of the permit." 

Mr. Kennedy continued. "We have stayed focused on our short term goals to obtain three concurrent active sites while researching for sites four and five. We have also maintained and furthered our goals of developing long term strategic relationships with both local and foreign governments and contributing to research and education. Our crew and myself have completed hours of educational study of archaeology classes given by Dr. John de Bry, and will have continual course study into the future. We have recently completed a research trip to France with Dr. de Bry where historical research was conducted and many interesting and significant facts were discovered. Some of the research pictures can be seen on our website www.seafarercorp.com."

Archival research was conducted by Dr. de Bry in the archives in Dieppe and also in both the Archives Nationales and the Bibliotheque Nationale de France (BnF) in Paris. His research was divided into two sections; (1) looking for and acquiring data on the 1715 Fleet that sunk off Florida on July 31st of that year, and (2) searching for documents pertaining to the Jean Ribault Fleet of 1565 sunk north of Cape Canaveral. Both endeavors were supported by Seafarer. Dr. de Bry located several documents pertaining to the 1715 Fleet as well as one important document related to the loss of the 1565 French fleet. He is of the opinion that additional documents on the 1715 Fleet will be located at the Archivo General de Indias (AGI) in Seville, Spain and in the National Archives of Cuba located in Havana. Such manuscript documents will help Seafarer achieve a more accurate interpretation of the cultural history of the Site (Melbourne Beach Site).

Sep 19, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Seafarer Exploration Corp. (SFRX, Trade ), a company focused on the archaeologically-sensitive exploration and recovery of historic shipwrecks with an emphasis on recovering treasure and understanding historical events surrounding shipwrecks, announced today that the company's salvage vessel, Iron Maiden, has returned to the salvage site off Juno Beach, Florida after major repairs, maintenance and improvements. 

The Iron Maiden, a wholly owned asset of Seafarer Exploration, completed major and important renovations that will facilitate the company's salvage capabilities. The renovation was extensive and a special thanks goes to Capt. Troy and his crew who worked hard for the past several months. Capt. Troy commented, "Some of the most difficult and time consuming work was replacing the rusted hull plates. We installed new Turbo chargers which will significantly increase our engines' RPM allowing us to dig faster and deeper. We also increased our propeller size to move more water through our deflectors to dig deeper with more efficiency. We replaced the shafts to handle the heavier work load of increased RPM and larger propellers. We also installed a new 25 KW generator to allow us the ability to stay at sea for an extended period of time if necessary." 

Capt. Troy continued, "In addition we replaced the fuel injectors, rebuilt the coolant system, replaced worn electronics, replaced hoses, fabricated and replaced the exhaust system (including asbestos-free heat wraps), gutted and painted the cabins and work areas, and sand blasted the hull and painted multiple epoxy layers and painted a new red top coat. In essence the Iron Maiden is almost new again. We will now be able to more accurately and efficiently maintain the Vessel and reach our targets. I want to personally thank my crew of Alexander (Sasha), Aaron, Michael, Zack, Matthew, and Corey for their hard work, as well as a personal thanks and deep gratitude to Kyle Kennedy and the generous shareholders for making this possible." 

Mr. Kennedy, CEO of Seafarer Exploration, said, "Over the past several years we have faced numerous unforeseen challenges and have risen to each occasion as they have presented themselves. We have set precedent through our efforts which have built the infrastructure to build significant share holder value. From our endeavors, we have had the good fortune to work closely with staff of the State of Florida Division of Historical Resources and Bureau of Archaeological Research, including Division Director Robert Bendus, Bureau Chief Dr. Mary Glowacki, Program Administrator Angie Tomlinson, and Underwater Archaeologist Lindsay Smith." 

Mr. Kennedy noted, "Division and Bureau staffs have given Seafarer tremendous guidance and exceptional help in navigating the state laws and rules governing exploration and salvage of historic shipwreck sites. We are all clear on the educational value our combined efforts can bring to the State of Florida. We also understand the importance of proper archaeological sensitive work in order to preserve our historical shipwreck sites and the artifacts for our future generations. Through the leadership and educational guidance of the Division and Bureau, the State is working jointly with Seafarer and other organizations to increase the body of knowledge of historic shipwrecks, and derive economic benefit to the State and build cultural awareness." 

Mr. Kennedy concluded, "Whereas we are thrilled to get back in the water working, we are currently pursuing other projects and wreck sites. We would also like to extend an invitation to anyone who might have discovered a wreck site or something of historical importance to contact us."

Seafarer Awarded $5 Million Defamation Verdict

TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Seafarer Exploration Corp. (OTCBB:SFRX.ob - News) announced a Hillsborough County Jury rendered a verdict on April 5th 2011 at 4:45 pm in favor of Seafarer for $5,080,000.00 in compensatory damages. After two days of evidence had been presented in court, a jury determined that hundreds of on line posts written by Sean Murphy under the screen name of "Floridatreasurecapt" were false and caused a decrease in market price. Seafarer believes collecting any or all of the damages will be difficult to do, but will continue to try to collect until paid in full. 

One of the Board Directors for Seafarer, Pelle Ojasu, stated, "We are pleased with the verdict rendered by the jury and I am very happy our CEO maintained his vigilance to prosecute those who would maliciously hurt the Company and its' personnel through relentless false postings over the last year. Now that the truth has finally come out, we can continue our focus on building shareholder value and executing our business plan." Lead trial attorney, Craig A. Huffman stated, "Mr. Murphy is going to be an example of what should happen to people who sit behind screen names and negatively, falsely, impinge the lives of people and of good companies. We are not done with him yet. This will set a precedent for small market companies to fight back." Co-counsel, David Chalela, stated, "We and our client are weighing the approach to take toward punitive damages in this case to dissuade others from doing this."
