What are the records about the sunken treasure in San Jose?
It is said that the "San Jose" sank in the depths of the Caribbean Sea about 2,500 meters off the coast of Colombia. 1On May 28th, 708, the Spanish galleon "San Jose" set sail from Panama and returned to the motherland full of gold bars, silver bars, gold coins, wine glasses, table lamps, altar supplies and jewels.

It is estimated that this wealth is worth at least $654.38+0 billion. At that time, Spain was hostile to Britain, the Netherlands and other countries. The famous British navy general Wiggle is patrolling with a powerful fleet, and the danger will come on the "San Jose" at any time. The captain of "San Jose" is Fenander. Although he knew that the British navy general Wiggle was leading a powerful fleet to patrol nearby, Fenander didn't take this threat to heart. On the one hand, he is eager to return to China; On the other hand, he is too superstitious about accidental luck, and naively thinks that "the sky is vast, so coincidences will not happen."

After sailing safely for a few days, on June 8, 1708, people were blindsided when they were horrified to find the British fleet lined up in the sea ahead.

Suddenly, the gunfire was dense and the water column was soaring. Several shells landed on the deck of the sailboat "San Jose", and the sea gradually swallowed up the huge hull. The sailboat "San Jose" sank to the bottom of the sea with more than 600 crew members and countless treasures.

Where does this treasure sink? Over the years, this huge treasure has made treasure hunters drool. They have searched for this treasure underwater many times, but disappointingly, no one can find it. Where does this treasure sink? After numerous treasure hunters' determination, the sinking location of the sailing ship San Jose finally reached a general result: at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea about 2,500 meters from the Colombian coast, it was 230 meters deep.

1983, Colombian minister of public works Sylvia persuaded the president to officially declare that the sailboat "San Jose" is a national property of Colombia and does not belong to those "insatiable treasure hunters".

It is estimated that the Colombian government has surveyed the location of the sunken ship. Although the salvage cost is as high as $30 million, it is nothing compared with this treasure.
