seeder Posted December 5, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Colombia treasure-laden San Jose galleon 'is found'The wreck of a Spanish boat laden with treasure that sank more than 300 years ago near the Colombian city of Cartagena has been found, President Juan Manuel Santos has announced. "Great news! We have found the San Jose galleon," the president tweeted. The San Jose has been described as the holy grail of shipwrecks, carrying one of the largest amounts of valuables ever to have been lost at sea. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-35014600 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeder Posted December 5, 2015 Author #2 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Lots of value involved too, that will cause some wrangling over who gets it I bet... from the OP The Colombian government's announcement on Friday that it had found the San Jose did not mention its long-running quarrel with US-based salvage company Sea Search Armada (SSA) over claims to the treasure - estimated to be worth between $4bn and $17bn (£2.6bn-£11bn; €3.7bn-€15.6bn). 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badeskov Posted December 5, 2015 #4 Share Posted December 5, 2015 $4 to $17 billion. That's a $16,999,999,996 gap in estimates. No, it a $13 billion dollar gap. Cheers, Badeskov 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
