Lot of 2 framed UPI black-and-white photographs from 1975 showing the Treasure Salvors vessel North Wind before it capsized while searching for the Atocha. 10" x 13" each in frames. Each one stamped "UPI FILE PHOTO" at top left, with captions at top left giving dates and description of scenes, one showing divers "lifting some bronze cannons from the wreckage" and the other showing the North Wind with personnel on board, including "Dirk Fisher, his wife Angela [sic] and another crew member" who "died when trapped below decks when the ship capsized," the photos clearly aged (faded and starting to crack a little) but still sharp and obviously very important to fans of Atocha and Fisher history.
