The story of a man's obsession in searching for one of history's richest shipwrecks. It is also a story of treason and intrigue, for Phips's success in recovering vast wealth from the depths of ocean helped unseat a king. The revolution altered the balance of power between England and France in Europe and, later, in North America. It is an unusual story about an unusual man, for Phips was one of North America's foremost adventurers of the seventeenth century.
