Born and raised in the picturesque surroundings of Vero Beach during the 1960s and 1970s, Jim Wilson’s destiny underwent a profound transformation at the tender age of ten. During a Vero Beach Elementary field trip to Mel Fisher’s office at Sexton Plaza, a chance meeting with the legendary Mel Fisher ignited Jim’s imagination, instilling within him a lifelong passion for the 1715 Fleet, its storied past, and the relentless pursuit of its treasures along our pristine shores.
