The sinking of the San Jose is not a precedent for the Spanish. As early as 1702, the famous "golden fleet" in Spanish history was sunk by the British in Vigo Bay in the Atlantic Ocean, thus leaving a big legacy in the history of treasure exploration. At that time, Spain was in financial distress, and a huge fleet of 17 galleons was driven back to Spain with gold, silver and jewels plundered from South America, passing through the most dangerous sea areas. One day in June, when the "Golden Fleet" sailed for the Azores, suddenly a joint British-Dutch fleet blocked the way. This fleet consisting of 150 warships approached the "Golden Fleet". The only and best way is to unload the treasure from the ship and transport it to Madrid, Spain, by land, but the authorities have a strange rule: everything shipped from South America must go to Seville for inspection first. Obviously, it is impossible to unload the treasure from the ship illegally. Fortunately, it was at Queen Mary? Under the special order of Desava, the gold, silver and jewels of the king and queen were unloaded and transported to Madrid by land.

After being besieged for a month, about 30,000 British and Dutch troops stormed Vigo Bay under the command of General Luke. The bombardment of 365,438+065,438+05 heavy artillery destroyed the battery and barrier, and the Spanish defenders collapsed across the board. As the allied forces were excited by the countless treasures in front of them, the battle progressed rapidly and the harbor quickly fell into hiding. At this time, Belasco, commander-in-chief of the "Golden Fleet", was desperate. He ordered.

How much is this treasure? According to the captured Spanish admiral Chacon's estimation, about 4,000 ~ 5,000 carriages of gold and jewels sank to the bottom of the sea. Although the British ventured into the sea many times, they only caught a few trophies. Therefore, these treasures strongly attract countless treasure hunters. Since then, groups of adventurers have appeared on the seabed near 1000 nautical mile. Some of them found empty sunken ships, some got pure emeralds, amethysts, pearls, black amber and other jewels, and some continued to search with modern technology and tools. With the passage of time, storms and tides have covered the treasure with thick sediments, and many rumors have added a bit of mystery to the treasure, which undoubtedly brought too much trouble to the exploration.

Unfortunately, some treasures transported by land to Madrid were robbed by robbers on the way. It is said that this part of gold, which is about 1 1,500 wagons, is still buried in a little-known place in the mountainous area of Ponte Vidra, Spain, apparently attracting people who dream of making a fortune like a huge magnet. (To be continued) Since 1492, the famous explorer Columbus crossed the ocean four times, the exciting and adventurous activity of treasure hunting has become a fashion. The discovery of the sunken Titanic, priceless jewels and gold and silver are like hot air, which set off an unprecedented treasure hunt. In today's world, there are at least 65,438+00 treasures that a treasure hunter has spent a long time looking for and can't get. They are mysteriously hiding aside, waiting for the lucky people to discover and discover.
