Slide presentation (28 color photo slides with transcript and notes), featuring many unpublished photos of coins and artifacts and ingots from the Real Eight finds from the Spanish 1715 Fleet in the 1960s. This is the transcript (14 pages, with notes, both typed and handwritten) and actual slides used by Karl H. Goodpaster in the 1960s about Real Eight's finds and the treasures of the 1715 Fleet. The flavor of his presentation is summed up in this tidbit from his notes: "I will attempt to show you in this presentation a cross section of artifacts that have been recovered from the clutches of the sea and some idea of the value, both historical and intrinsic, placed on these items." Indeed, some of the coins and artifacts in the slides (like a 1714 8E Royal and the famous "dragon whistle" and chain) are nearly priceless, although most of the items pictured are simply representative. Fleet collectors will not want to miss this one! Pedigreed to the estate of Karl H. Goodpaster (Real Eight conservator).
