Captain Dominic Addario
In July of 1987 the Federal Government of the United States awarded him, "Letters of Mark", in the form of an "Admiralty Claim" on a hither to unknown 17th Century Historic Shipwreck site. He formed a company, now known as JWI, and was eventually awarded 100% ownership to the shipwreck site, "against any and all parties in the world", by the Federal Courts of the United States.
