As many as 170 lost family photos were recovered by a photographer on vacation in Florida, and now he's launching an effort to find the family they belong to.

Josh Zuelke found a small underwater camera on a recent trip to Sanibel Island. The camera was covered in mud and barnacles, but Zuelke managed to recover its photos from the SD card.

The photographs showed a family on vacation at Key Largo, about 200 miles southeast of Sanibel Island.

In one of the photos, a young boy was wearing a Pennekamp Park hat, likely from the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, which features snorkeling tours in Key Largo. Others featured locations including Snook’s Bayside restaurant, and a pool that appeared to be at the Holiday Inn Key Largo, according to Fox 13.
