Treasure of Concption

Some interferences, the best i could get .In 1641, a deadly combination of treacherous waters and high winds brought the Concepcion to an untimely end. Though the ship would never sail again, its saga was just beginning. For over 300 years, tales of the treasure aboard the lost galleon brought adventurers to the Caribbean. It is just one quirk of the Concepcion's tale that she was found twice! THE WRECK OF THE CONCEPCION tells the story of Burt Webber, who invested years researching and preparing to salvage the lost ship. In 1978, he realized his dream, recovering riches worth almost $14 million from the ocean floor. Here, Webber talks about his moment of triumph, while extensive footage of the recovery documents the complicated operation. Discover how he beat better-known and better-funded competitors like Mel Fisher and Jacques Cousteau to the treasure, and why he is planning another dive on the ship for the spring of 1998. And learn of the Massachusetts man who first found the Concepcion, recovering 25 tons of silver in 1687, but leaving the rest behind!

[@JASONAMANO]

All the craggy quality only enhances my watching experience Its like a wave of nostalgia as i watch And its not to the point where its unbearable to watch Good work!

[@hardmanners]

In 2007 I spent about a week diving at the Concepcion wrecking site in the Silver Banks. What an adventure even though we didn't find anything but dropped equipment from former expeditions.

[@danielranderson9115]

In thirty years of diving, I only found a Seiko dive watch. 2007- I still wear this treasure today.

[@c.s.7266]

Great watches!

[@7316bobe]

I found a weight belt once.

[@uncatila]

I found a set of Aron Bur dueling pistols.

[@jessedavis7555]

You are ahead of the game 💪🏽💥

[@jimmystrickland1034]

All this treasure is buried under 4 to 12ft of sand. You’d cross rite over it and never see it. Without specialized equipment.

[@uncatila]

The best thing here is the name. Nuestra Señora de Conception. It refered to our lady and her Immaculate Conception. Something most people forgot about.

[@TravisBrady-wn8fr]

Loved it mate... Thank you for uploading... Good old VHS!! Now I know I'm getting old. 44 and still young. Glad I'm from England and have access to a norman mote & bailey castle. Gold everywhere and that's just the Truffles:D Unfortunately I know of a better version of exactly the same video... Just youtube "BLACK SWAN" Oddesey explorer/Ocean Quest perfect from start to finish... VHS is so 1980's.....sorry.

[@lord_malphas]

Jim Nace found the first coin. I was at his funeral today.

[@dennyreed105]

Sorry to hear of Jims passing I met him and Burt early 80s in DC.

[@tuckermoreland147]

that man has strange eyes. spooky really. anyhow best to him. best to anyone searching for treasure in dangerous waters.

[@andie22311]

Tucker Moreland How many people do you think yelled at him “What’s wrong?!” when he would come up out of the water? It actually looks like he has a thyroid problem.

[@johnfullwood1095]

He saw something lol 😝 spooky.

[@bigshot9557]

To all that have negative comments it seems like everybody now days only have negative stuff to say be thankful it’s even on here why even comment if it’s negative they did the best they could it’s a dam vhs come on people you would have probably never even known about it if it wasn’t for this vhs tape.

[@dennyreed105]

Exactly Ive met Burt and Bill Nace in early 1980s .Saw the treasure and they let me handle it. What a RUSH I will never forget it.

[@claudeechols1569]

Still a bad video u can't change that, but I liked it myself, ive seen worse

[@Hurricaneintheroom]

Very interesting video. There are problems with the video but still watchable. It's funny that Phipps and Webber have so much in common. Maybe a case of reincarnation. Some very odd coincidences. The value of the wreck is hard to place because Phipps got some, the mystery ship got some, and now Webber. So hard to tell what it was worth intact.

[@lecinquiemeroimage]

Subtiltles please. Thanks a lot.

[@russellloomis4376]

Straight from VHS.

[@Coins_4_Flip]

made me dizzy. was like watching a bad bootleg tape.

[@7316bobe]

Yes after drinking a barrel of bad bootleg rum.

[@marvinthiessen3454]

[@ieatcrayons1999]

If you know to adjust the tracking well let's just say you're not the problem with the world today

[@240x9]

Well they're going to need to update this video cuz they think they just found it off the Treasure Coast north of Sebastian

[@dennyreed105]

There were several Concepcions all built at different times

[@andrewnorgrove6487]

You need to clean the heads of the device you recorded this off ! a pity it wasn't watchable

[@stevenbryant4718]

The magnetic tape likely degraded. A simple test of this would be trying a known good tape which likely to have happened, not the playback head this was transferred from.

[@vidalsan6213]

i bought the vhs from USA. and i live in Europe. we got lucky for VHS player read in these way the tape.

[@bigshot9557]

Somebody always has something negative to say be thankful it’s even on here
