Discovery of the ill-fated Chameau

Here is true Canadian adventure told in the words of the diver who led his team to some famous treasure finds. Fascinating original accounts retrieved from the pages of sea borne logbooks and blended with historical research reveal for the first time the stories of treasures found in Cape Breton. The Chameau story has never been told in this detail before. Exciting new material relates how the French pay ship was lost off Louisbourg in August 1725 after striking a reef in the darkness. With no survivors, an entire annual budget in silver and gold was also lost in the storm wracked ship. Discovered in 1965 after years of searching, Storm explains how he and his companions finally located the ancient coins hidden deep under the ocean at the bottom of rocky crevasses. With the gold in near perfect condition, thousands of the salvaged coins were later auctioned off in New York.
