Excerpt from :
Treasure Diving with Captain Dom by Yvonne Addario

 . . . then one day, his life changed forever. Two surfers had told a local lifeguard about a cannon and an anchor that stuck out of the sand in only ten feet of water. The lifeguard asked Captain Dom for his help and advice.

This could be an ancient shipwreck! the captain thought.
His journey had begun.

Captain Dom was appointed the first federal substitute custodian of the abandoned shipwreck site. Later, the court substituted Jupiter Wreck Inc. (JWI), a newly formed Florida corporation, for Captain Dom’s name.

At that time, neither the lifeguard nor Captain Dom knew that the discovery laws would undergo a major change and play a large part in the rules affecting the future rights of others who researched and recovered historic shipwrecks. With the change in laws, the captain became the last person who could “stake his claim” on a shipwreck in the state of Florida.
