Years later, in 2015, Colombia’s then-President Juan Manuel Santos said the country’s navy found the San José wreck at a different location on the sea floor.

For anyone interested, there are more pictures at the Daily Mail. Same video but more stills.

I’m sure the FBI will be along any moment to plunder the gold in the middle of the night...

Watched a series last year titled “La Fortuna.” It’s a 2021 TV series based on a graphic novel. Stanley Tucci played the fortune hunter who stole the gold from a shipwreck off the shore of Spain. The series is basically about the fight by Spain to gain possession of the ship that was sunk by the British, and the millions of dollars of treasure on it. The series focuses on the court battles between Tucci’s character, and the government of Spain. I liked it. Never read the graphic novel.

The ship was a warship, a sovereign vessel. The treasure belongs to Spain.

I saw the headline, Colombia and $20B and figured it had to be cocaine.
