San José Galleon Treasure Unearthed

Scientists in Colombia have uncovered artifacts from the legendary Spanish galleon San José, which sank in 1708. The discovery includes a cannon, coins, and a porcelain cup. The mission aims to study the shipwreck and understand its cause, not to seize the treasure. The San José is believed to hold billions in gold, silver, and emeralds. The wreckage lies nearly two thousand feet deep, and its ownership is a complex legal battle involving Colombia, the US, and Spain.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
