I checked Wikipedia. The ship was carrying Spanish gold and silver to Flanders to pay the Spanish army of Flanders. The Spanish transport that was suppose to carry the precious metal caught on fire in Cadiz.

I am not seeing that in the story. I see 100,000 pounds of gold worth 1B pounds (british currency unit).
