Wait...the wonderful discovery of this Spanish Treasure ship is going fill the huge, cavernous, abyss of Spanish colonialism in South American history?
I mean like all the books, diaries, letters from Cartagena’s founding date 1533 were aboard that one ship?
What are the odds? ;>)
On a serious note, that was one huge vessel for its time, 600 people, a huge and heavy cargo of gold plus cannon. Would have loved to make that discovery dive.
Maybe they’ll find all those missing Mayan manuscripts.

Yep, it would take a huge ship to carry that many people, cannon and gold... plus, food and water for the people!
I’m not buying the tale. Ships back then didn’t carry that many people.
