Over the years, I found around 30 shipwrecks between Chinchorro Bank and Alacranes—they all have a different history and are named after the artifacts that have been found there.

I live in Quintana Roo, Mexico and as I am 81-years-old, I am now retired. I was born on December 10, 1938 in the Port of Xcalak, a village around six miles from where Mexico meets Belize. It was a typical small fishing port with just a few sandy streets.

First I went to San Pedro, Belize for a few months and then to the island of Cozumel, Mexico. On Cozumel I continued working as a fisherman and after five years I returned to Xcalak and dedicated myself to lobster fishing. In the early 1970s I started working on a North American yacht named"Courthouse." I spent 40 years working on it, and over many seasons I made expeditions to Chinchorro Bank in the Atlantic Ocean and Alacranes in the Gulf of Mexico.

Manuel Polanco is the Mexican fisherman who had a 200-year-old shipwreck named after him by the SAS-INAH, who are now exploring the wreck further. Polanco came across the shipwreck in the 1990s when he was fishing off the coast of Mexico. He is pictured here with underwater archaeology enthusiast, Peter Tattersfield.Over the years, I found 30 or so shipwrecks between Chinchorro Bank and Alacranes—they all have a different history and are named after the artifacts that have been found there.
