TAMPA, Fla., July 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Seafarer
Exploration Corporation (OTCQB: SFRX), a company focused on
archeologically sensitive exploration, research and recovery of
historic shipwrecks is pleased to announce that Seafarer's Quest,
LLC has successfully been granted a three year research permit for
the shipwreck site south of Cape
Canaveral from the Florida Bureau of Archaeology
Research.
"We are so excited about this site!" exclaimed Kyle Kennedy, CEO of Seafarer.
"The complexities of this particular permit dictated a much
longer time horizon, but hopefully good things come to those who
wait. The long awaited issuance of this permit allows Seafarer to
begin the investigation, research and archaeological excavation of
this very exciting historical site. There have already been several
artifacts discovered, some solid silver and a pistol with a visible
date of 1709 and the name of the maker," added Mr. Kennedy.
Previous research of this area produced artifacts of significant
importance that led well known archaeologists to believe there is
an 18th century historical shipwreck in this vicinity.
"These artifacts are currently being held by the State of Florida and will be pictured on our
website (www.seafarercorp.com). In addition, video of the
underwater work being done at the Juno
Beach site has been added to the website as well," stated
Mr. Kennedy.
"We are extremely thrilled to get started on this third site.
Weather permitting, work will begin immediately. The site will
require a lot of work, time, and testing to further understand the
characteristics and difficulties of this particular site," added
Mr. Kennedy.
"Furthermore," Mr. Kennedy continued, "Seafarer Exploration
wants to personally thank the Florida
State officials and employees for their help and guidance
throughout this process. We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to
Director and State Historic Preservation Officer, Robert Bendus, and Bureau Chief and State
Archaeologist Dr. Mary Glowacki for
their timeless commitment to responsible archaeological
preservation and for working with us to ensure all issues were
properly handled. Seafarer is strongly committed to using proper
archaeological techniques because it is important to preserve the
historical and archaeological integrity of the site. We commit
ourselves to making sure their trust in our company is
warranted."
Mr. Kennedy finished by stating, "While we are excited to
finally get started on this third site, we are not complacent about
pursuing other potential sites. We have clearly defined sites, some
in Florida, and some on the east
coast of the United States. We
have also had some correspondence about sites outside of
the United States, but still in
shallow water. We are executing our plan to increase the
probability of success and ultimately build shareholder value in
the coming months and years."
