Treasure trove of gold and jewels recovered from a 366-year-old shipwreck in the Bahamas

A treasure trove of gold coins, gemstones and jewels was recently uncovered at a 366-year-old Spanish shipwreck.

In an effort to conserve what's left of the ship and its prized cargo, an international team of preservationists and underwater archaeologists has been working to recover objects from the shipwreck, which sits in the Atlantic Ocean about 43 miles (70 kilometers) off the coast of the Bahamas.

Known as the Nuestra Señora de las Maravillas ("Our Lady of Wonders" in Spanish), the 891-ton (808 metric tons) galleon was traveling between Spain and Colombia in 1656 to pick up a cargo of silver when a navigational error caused it to collide with another vessel in the Spanish fleet. The accident forced the ship to run aground on a coral reef; an estimated 600 of the 650 people onboard died in the crash, the organization said in a statement. More than three centuries later, the wreckage is spread across 8 miles (13 km) of the ocean floor. Read more.

For a second I thought this was a BTS shot of The Revenge.

Nope, it's a photo of El Galeón Andalucía, a replica of a 17th Century Spanish Galleon that's currently docked in Plymouth!

A Historically Significant Emerald Ring

Featuring a square emerald-cut emerald weighing 5.27 carats, size 5¾, signed Valentin Magro.

A ring with a 400-year-old emerald from the 1622 Nuestra Señora de Atocha galleon shipwreck was put up for auction by Sotheby's to raise funds for humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine. Its owner, Mitzi Perdue visited Ukraine this past summer.

The extraordinary treasures of the Nuestra Señora de Atocha reflect the unimaginable wealth and vast domain within the New World that Spain controlled in the early 17th century. When the overladen Spanish galleon tragically wrecked on a coral reef and sank off the Florida coast amidst a hurricane in 1622, the ship’s hold contained some 180,000 coins and 24 tons of ingots struck from Bolivian silver as well as 125 bars of gold bullion extracted from the Caribbean, Mexico and the Andes amongst its many treasures.

In addition to precious metals, the ship’s detailed log recorded an astonishing 70 pounds of rough-cut emeralds mined from Colombian sources in Chivor and Muzo which the Spanish had first learned of in the early 16th century. As Spain introduced these gems to a European and, in time, a global audience, their shocking depth of color, size, and clarity were unlike anything previously known from the long depleted Egyptian mines of antiquity.

After spending 363 years lost and submerged, the Atocha wreck (as it came to be known) captured the world’s attention when news first broke of its discovery in 1985. Long time treasure hunter Mel Fisher and his team had steadfastly searched an area off the coast of Florida for 16 years, weathering the loss of friends and family in the pursuit, before finally locating the remains of the ship and its precious cargo. These efforts required the belief and patronage of many individuals, amongst them Frank Perdue who was an early believer and fellow enthusiast of Atocha history.

The present lot is set with an expertly cut stone faceted from an emerald crystal recovered from the Atocha. In 1988, Mel Fisher and Frank Perdue worked with famed emerald lapidaries Reginald C. Miller and Jerrold Green of New York to select the best possible emerald crystals from their collection so that a fine gem could be cut for each of them. The resulting 5.27-carat stone was set in gold and proudly presented by Frank to his wife Mitzi as a cherished engagement present and in remembrance of this tremendous undertaking.

El Tamborilero / The Little Drummer Boy

The earliest known Asian-American settlement in the continental United States is Bayou Saint Malo, Louisiana (1763-1915) founded by deserting sailors and fugitive slaves from Manila, who were uniquely suited to thrive in the inhospitable and remote marshlands using indigenous shrimp fishing techniques and stilt houses from the Philippines.  For 250 years (1565-1815) Spanish galleons crossed the Pacific Ocean trading luxury goods and forcibly recruiting and converting colonial subjects from Las Islas Filipinas and the Américas through the ports of Manila and Acapulco under the Viceroyalty of New Spain in México Tenochtitlán.

From what I understand, the Spanish weren't so popular back in those days. Probably had something to do with all that yummy gold they kept flaunting around. That and the fact they were all acting like irredeemable pricks.

Tobermory Bay

John Douglas Sutherland Campbell

In the vapour and haze on the ocean,   Where the skies and the waters meet, There's a form that drifts, phantom-like, onward   As it follows the grey clouds' feet.

O'er the sea come the winds and the billows,   And they howl to the rocks, and they cry, They will bring them a wreck on the morrow,   Ere the joy of the tempest die.

The shade looming dark in the distance   Is naught but a galleon proud; And the spray has long battered her turrets,   And loosened each yard and each shroud;

But not on the surf-beaten islands,   Nor yet upon Morven's land, Does she drive, for her rudder, unshattered,   Is firm in the steersman's hand.

No mist wreath, no cloud, was the shadow   That moved on the height of the seas; Like a castle how steep are her bulwarks,   Her spars like a forest of trees!

She is safe from the gales for a season,   In the shelter and calm of the sound; A harbour named after the Virgin,   The "Well of Our Lady" she found.

She may rest in that haven, hill-girdled,   Near the shade of the woods on the shore, Where the hush of the forest is deepened   By the waterfall's song evermore.

How grandly her masts rise to heaven,   How glitters the blest Mary's form, High placed o'er the stern, and upholding   The Prince of our Peace through the storm!

Now waters their orisons murmur   As they fold her bright robes to their breast, Where they mirror the galleried windows,   And the flag and the face of the Blest.

Again with that sign and the banner   Of the gold and the crimson of Spain, Shall this ship front the foes of the Virgin,   And the English be chased from the Main.

Yes, again on the heretic Saxon   Her cannon shall thunder in scorn, Till in triumph through insolent England   Shall the Faith and King Philip be borne.

But the rows of dark mouths that have spoken   Defiance with sulphurous breath, Glisten black, stretching forth in the silence,   And in vain ask the presence of death.

Yes, repose and surcease of all hazard,   A truce to all war for a time! The cliffs and the pines only echo   The laugh of a sunnier clime.

And gaily the dark-visaged seamen   Quaff, cursing the mists and the rain; Gravely drinking from goblets of silver   Sits their chief, Don Fereija of Spain.

But the souls of the men to whose nostrils   Had risen the smoke of the fight, Soon tired of the shore and of slumber,   Soon yearned for the red battle light.

And courtesy fled from the weary,   From idleness arrogance grew; And all they received as a favour   They haughtily claimed as their due.

Then answered the Islesmen in anger,   "The food you demand as your own, By our people's free favour long given   Shall be bought by your gold now alone."

"Now, down with the savage's envoy,   Set sail and away on our track! Carthagena's sweet girls shall deride him,   And jeer the red locks on his back."

Below, in the dark narrow spaces,   The Islesman gropes, down in the hold; Unnoticed, and one among many;   What harm can his hatred unfold?

Swarm the men to the rigging, and swiftly   Shine clouds of white canvas, and clank The links of the anchor's great cable,   Creaks, trampled on deck, every plank:

Swings round the huge bowsprit, and slowly   With motion majestic and free, The galleon, vast, gilded, and mighty,   Passes on, passes forth, to the sea.

Her colours still paint all the ripples,   Repeated her banners all seem, Her sails, and her gold, and her cannon   Float on like a gorgeous dream.

Came a flash, and a roar, and a smoke-cloud   Rushed up, and spread far o'er the sky; Sank a wreck, black, and rugged, and blasted,   While the sound on the winds swept by.

And the mountains sent back the dull thunder   As though to all time they would tell The vengeance that pealed to the Heavens   From the Harbour of "Mary's Well."

I found this picture of an arrowhead made from Chinese porcelain that was from the wreck. Here in Marin they have found china as well because of Sir Francis Drake trading it with the locals. Pretty amazing.

A Rare Spanish Colonial Silver-Gilt Two-Handled Cup from the Atocha Shipwreck Bogotá, Colombia, circa 1620

Nuestra Señora de Atocha was a Spanish treasure galleon and the most widely known vessel of a fleet of ships that sank in a hurricane off the Florida Keys in 1622. At the time of her sinking, Nuestra Señora de Atocha was heavily laden with copper, silver, gold, tobacco, gems, and indigo from Spanish ports at Cartagena and Porto Bello in New Granada (present-day Colombia and Panama, respectively) and Havana, bound for Spain. The Nuestra Señora de Atocha was named for the Basilica of Nuestra Señora de Atocha in Madrid, Spain. It was a heavily armed Spanish galleon that served as the almirante (rear guard) for the Spanish fleet. It would trail behind the other ships in the flota to prevent an attack from the rear.

Much of the wreck of Nuestra Señora de Atocha was famously recovered by an American commercial treasure hunting expedition in 1985. Following a lengthy court battle against the State of Florida, the finders were ultimately awarded sole ownership of the rights to the treasure.
