Cue the governments trying to get their tax “fair share” off of the people actually recovering the treasures from this “unclaimed” wreck!

The exact location of the wreckage is still a secret, but it was discovered in November 2015 off the coast of Cartagena, Colombia. Its cargo of gold, silver, and emeralds could be worth as much as $17 billion. I would think Columbian pirates would be quite interested.

Maybe it wasn’t worth $17B back then, but I always wondered what the motivation was for the Spanish and other European monarchies was to load up all that treasure onto a sailing ship and send it out to sea. I guess in many cases it was to buy goods to bring back to Spain.

And now they’ll be tied up in court for 10 years. Never announce a big find until after you’ve landed the treasure.

Why announce this, when Spain will just sue to freeze it and claim the wreck again?
Just quietly sell the contents to an interested party.
To: Simon Green
So, that’s where I misplaced my ship. It’s mine. All mine!

with the help of an underwater robot. It's called the Remus 6000 and it can dive nearly four miles and is loaded with sensors and cameras 70% of Earth's recoverable gold is waiting to be discovered, and it will be done with robots. And then robots will burrow down into Earth's molten core and bring back much more than that.

I’m a bad man. I read that as “Wrong Hole Oceanographic Institution”.
Cool find! I remember when the Atocha was found off Florida, and a buddy of mine purchased a coin from her.

Unbelievably clear photos and the cannons aren’t seriously encrusted to be obscured for some reason.
