CARTAGENA, Colombia - President Juan Manual Santos on Saturday hailed the discovery of a Spanish galleon that went down off the South American nation's coast more than 300 years ago with what may be the world's largest sunken treasure.

At a news conference in this colonial port city, Santos said the exact location of the galleon San Jose, and how it was discovered with the help of an international team of experts, was a state secret that he'd personally safeguard. The ship sank somewhere in the wide area off Colombia's Baru peninsula, south of Cartagena.

While no humans have yet to reach the wreckage site, autonomous underwater vehicles had gone there and brought back photos of dolphin-stamped bronze cannons in a well-preserved state that leave no doubt to the ship's identity, the government said.

The discovery is the latest chapter in a saga that began three centuries ago, on June 8, 1708, when the galleon ship with 600 people aboard sank as it was trying to outrun a fleet of British warships. It is believed to have been carrying 11 million gold coins and jewels from then Spanish-controlled colonies that could be worth billions of dollars if ever recovered.

Here is a link to the full article:

Bet you would like to dive on that one. I didn't see the depth although I saw they had used a rov. Maybe a saturated dive?

Ridge Runner the article you posted is about the San Jose of 1631 which sank in Panama. It was salvaged by Dan Porter and then his share was confiscated by the Panama govt. This other San Jose sank in Colombia in 1708. It has never been salvaged. They say it is in 700' deep water.

If you read the links I posted you will see they refer to 1708-1715 and it is the same one you posted, Surely there can not be Two Spanish Galleons Named The San Jose that the colombian government are fighting over.
