The disaster area of a Spanish boat loaded down with fortune that was sunk by the British over 300 years back has been found off the Colombian coast, says President Juan Manuel Santos.
"Extraordinary news! We have discovered the San Jose ship," the president tweeted.
The disaster area was found close to the port city of Cartagena.
It has been portrayed http://winsource.com/forum/members/sinusheadaches.html as the sacred chalice of wrecks, as the boat was conveying one of the biggest measures of assets ever to have been lost adrift.
Mr Santos said the load was worth in any event $1bn (£662m).
The San Jose was conveying gold, silver, diamonds and adornments gathered in the South American settlements to be transported to Spain's ruler to fund his war of progression against the British when it was soaked in June 1708.
The vessel was assaulted by a British warship simply outside Cartagena.
Colombian authorities would not uncover the exact area of the disaster area, but rather Mr Santos said the find "constitutes one of the best - if not the greatest, as some say - revelations of submerged patrimony ever".
He said that a historical center would be implicit Cartagena to house the ship's fortunes.
Responsibility for wreck has been the subject of a long-running lawful line.
The Colombian government did http://www.allthelyrics.com/forum/member.php?u=146816not specify its long-running fight with US-based rescue organization Sea Search Armada (SSA) over cases to the fortune.
A gathering now claimed by SSA said in 1981 that it had found the zone in which the boat sank.
SSA has been guaranteeing billions of dollars for break of agreement from the Colombian government, however in 2011 an American court decided that the vessel was the property of the Colombian state
