Colombia to Start Exploration of Sunken San José Galleon, ‘the Biggest Treasure in the History of Humanity’
To speak of a sunken treasure worth tens of billions sounds like fiction.
But that is the reality about to be salvaged from the bottom of the Caribbean Sea.
The wreckage of the Spanish warship San José, that has laid undiscovered at the bottom of the ocean for centuries, contains what the Colombian government calls ‘the biggest treasure in the history of humanity.’
But such riches can only be enjoyed once the galleon is fully explored at the bottom of the sea.
Now, Colombia’s government has announced plans for a deep-water expedition to explore the mythical San José, a warship sunk in the 18th century after an attack from British ships.
