The Legendary Spanish Plate Fleet

The 1715 Spanish Plate Fleet was a massive convoy of ships carrying vast amounts of gold, silver, and jewels from the Spanish colonies in the New World to Spain. In July 1715, a hurricane struck the fleet, sending 11 of its ships to their watery graves. The precious cargo vanished beneath the waves, sparking centuries of speculation and treasure hunting.
