The Mysterious History of: The San José shipwreck

Описание: This week we dive into a tale of an underwater treasure hunt and maritime archaeology. In the 18th century, during the War of the Spanish Succession, the British navy and Spanish galleons loaded with treasure would engage in naval battles off the coast of Colombia. One of the battles would lead to what might be the richest shipwreck in history and a bounty that would be lost to the world for around 300 years. Let's track down a missing vessel from the Spanish treasure fleet together. This tragic story has it all; a deep sea shipwreck discovery, controversies surrounding San José shipwreck, sailors lost at sea, and more as we sail the seas of history on this file pulled from The Darkives.
