Max yeah thats who it is,
were taking them out tomarrow on the capt tracy. I just heard aweek from saturday that it will air. I am sitting next to the host right now but cant remember his name and would be embarrased to ask him after he already told me. Ok somebody just called him Bill? sems like i would have remembered that!
were being interviewed by ABC right now as we speak. Cameras running! The insurance inspector gave us a list of recommendations that we need to complete before leaving. Shouldn't be to much longer. weve come a long way.
wreck tom next time your here in key west stop by i would love to give you the grand tour of the Capt Tracy. I know you would understand the magnitude of the job that we have just rushed to completion. I for one am very proud of what we have accomplished in such a short time.
John John please pm your email i guess i had to much fun that night you gave it to me, cause i cant find it anywhere
yeah yeah janitor i am so hurt and distraught over your calling me a janitor. Ok heres the deal. When i started working for Dpbm i had no idea about the stock market all i knew is i was being paid as a diver/captain and really didnt care to much about where the money came from. But somebody told me i should look up dpbm on ihub and so i did. I didnt understand why there was so many disgruntled people saying so many negative things about the company that i work for. So to try and understand what i was reading i kept logging on day after day. And mostly the things i have learned have come from Capt. He is a bit more critical than i am about some issues but sometimes i think criticism can be constructive. He keeps his thoughts directed at the Ceo of the company he dosent attact the people that work under the ceo. As far as i am concerned he does it in a professional manner. And i have learned alot about the stock market by reading his posts.
Now you have called me unproffesional. Now i want you to go back and look at post #s 13282/13105/12838 here you attack Wilfs wife and his daughters. I guess to you thats proffesional but to me thats low class i see there is no shame to your game. Glenn i read all of your posts and for you to say i took the first shot well all you have to do is go back and read your posts you continue to take shots at Wilfs family Me and my crew. And from here on if im not deleted that you direct your comments at me, my crew or Wilfs family i will retaliate every time. And believe me i have plenty more important things to do right now than having to keep you honest. Just keep your posts directed at the ceo how hard can that be.
I and my crew have been working right through the holidays to get this boat ready for the Dr. I also own shares in this company and it gives me incentive to do the things that can drive the pps up. I have vowed to myself to do everything possible to one day see a dollar a share.
deepsee i would bet at least 95% of the people on this board know the answers to your questions. At least what i read people on here seem to have a clue. But if i am able to answer some of your questions and its not "inside information" I will(shoot)! Just try and leave out some of the stupid questions you asked on your last post.
Wilf/ no scratch that i meant CaptBilly YDF
deepsee i guess you never read post #6591 or are you just flat out calling me a liar
Evenkeel, We didnt have any open rust spots on the outside of the hull. So we used ospho to remove the rust stains and then scrubed the whole outside with TSP tri sodium phosphate. Then pressured washed it. then we spot painted with primer and then two coats of oil based enamel. The inside of the gunwhales and deck will need much more attention. We were told by another shrimper who's deck looked like it was plastic coated to use Mobile Paint (deck armour) And this is all great but no way is any of these little things going to slow my relentless pursuit of returning to work.Savvy?
Capt i would like to ask you and in no way mean this to be sarcastic. I undrstand that you have every right to your opinion and by reading all your posts its obvious that your ten times more smarter than me about the stock market. Probally more like a hundred more times because i know nothing about it. The only thing i know about it is from reading everybodys posts on here including yours. I would like your opinion on what i believe is essential to make this company a success. How about this new boat we just bought, i think if it took investors money to buy, wouldnt it eventually help drive the pps higher. We are now able to come and go to the DR because now more than ever we need a boat that can handle the weather. For me security reasons because like it or not in every country ther are people who have less and think it is OK to take from others that have more.(good luck breaking into this boat you had better bring your cutting torch with you)What about the fact we can stay on site for months at a time. that seems like a good way to get the pps up and keep it there rather than just seeing spikes. The amount of gear to do the job right can all fit on this boat so no more waiting for deliveries of the right tools. So i could go on all day about my opinion why this money spent on this boat was well worth it to the investors. Now about the Deep Scan this boat has been a thorn in everybodys side including my own. When i came back from the DR and so fricking excited to jump on the boats and get back down there i could see the Deep Scan was months away from being finished and the captain was leaving to go elk hunting. I was livid.I was the one pushing the hardest at that point to get a boat that could handle our opperations down there that could leave right away because honestly i was concerned about bringing my boat down in the weather conditions i knew we would be encountering. So i believe it was my crying that most likely helped get us this new boat!
But now the Deep Scan is nearly finished and it does have some of the top of the line survey equipment on it and knowing since the seventies no electronic survey has ever been done in our area in the DR and we would be the first. Does it then make sense to keep the Deep Scan. One boat to do nothing but survey and the other to do the salvage. Which brings me to this question and im sure you will have a answer for this one. What if the company spent down to the last dime but at that moment we hit the mother lode wouldnt it make sense to have every tool available to get the job done right than sit here dorment and just watch the company fizzle away to nothing and never had taken the chance to win.
Is there something im missing here Tom. Im steaming south in a 80ft steel hull. Will be in Key West aprox. 30hrs from now to get ready to leave to the DR. It makes me wonder just how sick, dying and dead we are. Im sure by now you must already be diving that wreck of yours. Cant wait to see all that treasure. Be careful out there.
I laughed when i pushed the send button on that post i knew after reading todays blog i was sending it like bait to the hungry sharks to get gobbled up, so people cry for some info and i give it and then you cry (your divulging info) wtf over
thanks for your humor
I would like to thank everybody who wished me well on my operation.
They said it was a low grade of cancer and if i keep a close eye on it we should be able to
Keep it under control. The investors meeting was a riot. There must have been forty people there. I sure had a good time, I don’t think you need more than a seventh grade education to know why we cant post pictures or discuss the operations in the DR. I wrote that little story on deep blues blog and had six emails from people in the DR saying I was to harsh about describing my time there. So yep people in the DR do have computers. And yes the shrimp boat is still a go and I couldn’t be more excited about it.
For so many reasons that I don’t dare try and explain them all with my two finger typing ability. I wish we were leaving right now. But as Capt. Tracy explained to us that the DR government closes down middle dec. to the 5th of jan. So if we didn’t get there by the 14th of dec. we would be waiting three weeks to do anything. And here in Key West we will be doing a mag and subbotom profiling survey here next week and I am looking forward to that, there is just a lot of unanswered questions I have and will be able to put some of them to bed. The man that’s doing the survey is Rick Horgan. And imo he is the best. We are still diving on some of his data that he gave us three years ago. And that was just from a three day survey. I believe we will be bringing the new boat here this week and will have plenty to do on her to get ready for the DR in Jan. Like building a ladder to get in and out of the water, we have to mount the air compressor for the airlift and filling the dive tanks, And not even Christmas day is going to stop me from getting this boat ready. So I will be in the DR with a steel hull trawler eighty feet on the waterline and yep Capt Billy at the helm. With some of the most prime hunting grounds in the Caribbean. And with a man as Great as Tracy Bowden leading the charge. So all you couch captains eat your hearts out
oh crap i lied i only use one finger to type
Linda, I am sure happy you post here you always have a positive outlook on things and see the good in just about everything! And even though i have an operation on tuesday to remove tumors from my bladder i am sitting here as happy as i ever been about this company and my job. You could write on here wow what a beutiful rose and it smells so nice and somebody would write back, Yeah but that thorn could poke you in the eye and you would be blind. Look at that pretty sailboat sailing by with all her sails up. Yeah but if it ran you over it could crush your ribs and puncture your lungs and then you would drown.
It dosent matter what nice things you put on here it gets ripped to shreds. So Linda i wish you a very happy day and always looking forward to your posts...
I just spent the last three day's with Wilf and regardless of what anybody has to say, I am very happy that i work for him and hope to be here as long as he will have me!
WOW, i guess you told me!!
So i guess the fishers should give up on the Atocha LOL
OK how's this scenario (i think thats how you spell that)Deep Blue buys eighty foot steel hull boat that can handle any weather. Sails out of here early december and it only takes five day's to get there because we dont care about the pesky little cold fronts anymore! WE can name her C.O. Jones because that is what she will have. (cojones) So now were back on top of our site digging right where we left off! IM happy because not only we have this site to work but we have two Galleons near buy! quote by DR official"they haven't been totally salvage" And that makes me happy again because i have held gold in my hands from these wrecks. And not just little pieces but chains and pendants and trinkets of all types. Im also happy again because Tracy has told me that he knows of many more wrecks yet to be salvaged. And i couldn't be any more happier because the short time i was there i was approached by many people about wrecks they knew about or gold coins that wash up on the beach all kinds of happy little stories that don't allow me to sleep at night. because, you got it im still in Key West
So (as Robyn would say) Don't get your knickers all in a knot! OK the steel hull eighty foot boat (WELL) it's a christmas wish of mine but the rest is fact! I sware Capt it's true. I hope this isn't insider info. If it is i should be seeing Wilf's name on my caller ID shortly
Hold on im still thinking
how's this one Capt Joe is back and actually working on the Deep Scan
JA87991 there is only one person here on vacation and he is expected back tomorrow but the rest of us are hard at it. We have alot going on regardless of what is being said here. Except all the crew wonders why thier working while i sit and play on the computer all day. Hey i got to keep all these people in line,somebodys got to do it. We have 35 nt winds here i know everybody still thinks we should be out there but that is my call nobody elses not even Wilf. I can tell you that we have plenty to do when the weather breaks. I am sure Wilf will update everyone on his confrence call but good things are happening, hell i could even be a movie star!
nice reply ed must have hit home im only trying to end his attacks on my crew and the company i work for now your attacking me too Hmmmmmmmmmmm
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Memo
On September 17, 2006, at your request, I attended a meeting that was held at the McDonald's in Marathon, Florida Keys.
Present at that meeting were Ed Krajewski, Tom Yerian, Randy Alwine, Robert Gecy and myself. The purpose of this meeting was to evaluate the information as provided by Tom Yerian relative to a shipwreck site in 180 feet of water somewhere off the Marquesas Keys. Obviously for intended promotional purposes, this group "weakly" implies that this could be the fabulous treasure wreck: the French ship "Notre Dame de Deliverance" that supposedly sank in a hurricane in 1755. Qualified, serious archival researchers with whom I have discussed this matter say the ship never existed. There is absolutely no true archival documentation to date that proves otherwise. The persons attending this meeting did not in anyway try to support that it was factual. Thus we were talking about a shipwreck.
Mr. Yerian had in evidence copies of side scan sonar surveys and R>O>V produced photographs of the site but of very poor resolution and qualily. There was no comprehensive distance and measurement scaling to correlate the presented material. Mr. Yerian had his own interpretation of what certain objects were that were obviously there in the photographs but it took imagination to believe they were in fact the object he believed them to be. I personally was more perplexed by the poor quality of the side scan sonar record of the shipwrick (which was barely discernable) considering that the ballast pile is reported to be approximately 100 feet long, 35 feet wide and 5 feet high. (?)
Mr. Yerian stated that he had actually physically dove on the site and did a "drift" over the site and had recovered a pewter plate which proved to have "touch" marks on it. He said that Dick Holt of Key Largo had researched the plate and established a nanufacturer and dating period of the mid-18th Century. He also said that with the use of a metal detector, he located and recovered five silver Spanish coins. NO pictures or research report on the pewter plate or silver coins was presented as supportive evidence. When asked what the denominations and mint sources were with regard to the coins, it was stated that they were 8's, 6's, 4's but I corrected Mr. Yerian on the fact that there were no 6 reales minted.
During the beginning of our meeting (shortly before the arrival of Ed Krajewski and Robert Gecy) I explained what the facts and realities were with regard to ever getting a salvage permit from the FKNMS. Slim to none.
With regard to the legal disposition andd ramifications relating to this wreck site, the problems are of great magnitude. This wreck site is currently under an Admiralty Arrest that was filed by Greg Brooks of Sub Sea Research LLC. Although this company has not performed to date under the requirements of the court (and for that matter the FKNMS), it nevertheless still exists and will require legal action to try and have it recinded. This is going to require both time and money for legal fees.
Mr. Yerian's suggested approach to dealing with a contract or licencing situation is to attempt to strike a deal with the Kingdom of Spain, then acting as their official agent (recieving a percentage salvage award) in the salvage of this wreck site. We discussed several differnt procedures that might be used in order to get Spain to conform to this idea but I also advised that this approach is going to take a considerable amount of time and money. Particularly money with regard to legal fees for required representation and lobbying in Spain.
In conclusion to this meeeting, it was my recommendation that on the basis of all parties to be involved, sighning a non-disclosure, non circumvent agreement, the wreck site herein addressed must be physically dove on and examined. Photographs and video's should be taked of the ballast pile and all objects encountered, using a meter scale stick in each shooting. It is also my suggestion that marine archaeologist Jim Sinclair be contracted to accompany the dive team to make these observations and professionally validate what will be seen. Until such time when this site is actually validated, there is little purpose in going any further with complicated contracts, commitment of financial underwriting and extensive legal fees.
Sincerely,
Burt D. Webber, Jr.

You need to be careful to draw conclusions on side scan images its like looking at clouds and saying you see a monkey sitting under a coconut tree smoking a cigar. I have dove over fifteen hundred side scan images since last summer 06 and none ever looked like what the image showed. The speed of the boat,turning,sea state all these things play into it.And i have seen wrecktoms images and i dont even see the monkey!
Linda capt joe is on a two week vacation there is still people working there, one is a friend of mine who is a qualified boat carpenter so work is still happening. but it still takes time. And i know not fast enough (HURRY UP)!!
whoawoewoe im not on vacation i want so bad to get back!! WTF i want to leave right now! Wilf wants both boats to go together (safty in numbers) thats not a bad idea,
but i dont now how long you can keep me bucking in my stall!!!
Linda, I wish more than anybody that we could show some of our pictures from the DR, if for nothing else just bragging rights. but i also understand 100% why we cant! But i can say this(i think)please capt go easy on me here im kind of a sensitive guy)I found most of the coins and i dont even know what kind they were some were heavier than others and some were deffently copper but as of right now nobody knows. Every one was encrusted like a oreo cookie....
wow wrecktom lay off the potato juice....I have spent the last thirty years of my life working around where you claim your wreck is. My proffesion was commercial fishing in exactly the depth of water your at hundreds of shrimpboats every winter drag that area never! not once have i ever heard of anybody on the radio or through the grapevine ever dragging up anything that resembled any part of a wreck there i probally more than anyone would know because i constantly used shrimptrash (bycatch) for bait. I have known personally hundreds of shrimpboat captains in my life no way could that secret have been kept. But i even knowing this still gave you three days of what i do best looking for fish in deep water if there was any kind of wreck there, there would be fish on it. Not once even after blacking out my plotter in a one by two mile square area over your gps cord. did i see one show of fish.It also makes me wonder why sub sea research abandoned it for you to take over. And if you or anybody else want to publicly attack my girlfriend please stop by you know where im at.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
wow i cant believe the amount of responses to my post last night sorry i went to bed. I read this forum probally more than i should i have written many letters only to delete them i dont want to get caught up in this every day squabble but i stand behind my post last night. I am lucky to be apart of deep blue in less than a year we are working with a man as great as any treasure hunter there is. to stand next to Tracy Bowden you get the feeling your standing in the presence of greatness i can only thank Wilf for putting me there.The wreck we are working is so overwhelming it is not even possible to explain it here i have never seen nothing like it in all my life it is to bad we are restricted to post pictures because there are many. What i am so tired of reading is the constant bashing of this company and its ceo i cant imagine anybody else getting us to where were at any faster. I feel the unrelentless disrupting shots at Wilf and deep blue is the reason for some maybe not so good decissions.( to keep the investors happy) and still look where were at this will never be a overnight sucsess. To me to be here in the DR is the best way for this company to achive sucsess we will be sucsessful! I cant believe how many differant people approach us with treasure related stories this place is truly untouched and again we are so lucky to have Tracy to see us through all our ventures. And Robyn dont touch my beer ill be home saturday!!
capt ed thank you for getting me this job at deep blue i read your post last night you told us at deep blue to get a life how ironic today the airlift was raining coins i went from treasure hunter to treasure finder thanks again capted
