Item 8.01 Other Events.

On September 27th and 28th, 2014, Endurance Exploration Group, Inc. ("Endurance" or the “Company”) conducted a remotely operated vehicle (“ROV”) inspection of a shipwreck located in the search area of the Company’s project code named “Sailfish.”  

Based upon that inspection, Endurance wishes to announce the successful location and identification of a wreck site believed to be that of the S.S. Connaught.   The S.S. Connaught is a vessel that caught fire during a storm and sank on October 8, 1860.  The ship’s 467 passengers and 124 crew were all saved by the brig Minnie Shiffer, representing one of the most successful at sea rescues in history.  The New York Times reported the event on October 10, 1860 and that report included the following:  “The S.S. Connaught has £10,000 in gold on board, government money, taken at St. Johns, which was lost with the ship.”  

Endurance has filed a complaint in U.S. Federal Court for the Middle District of Florida requesting, pursuant to admiralty law, that the shipwreck be arrested, that Endurance be appointed substitute custodian of the shipwreck and that Endurance be awarded a salvage claim or title to the shipwreck and its cargo and, if such rights are granted, Endurance intends to return to the site in the Spring or Summer of 2015 to conduct a recovery operation estimated to take 60 days.  

Endurance has issued a press release containing additional details regarding this discovery, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by this reference.

Additional information, including video and sonar imagery will be posted to the Company’s website and Facebook page.
