A treasure trove of jewelry was recently rescued from a famed Spanish shipwreck that has been lying on the ocean floor off the Bahamas for more than 360 years.
The items were recouped from Nuestra Señora de las Maravillas (Our Lady of Wonders), which sank on Jan. 4, 1656, supposedly after it collided with its fleet’s flagship and then hit a reef 30 minutes later.
The jewels and related finds have been on display since Aug. 8 at the Bahamas Maritime Museum in Freeport, Grand Bahamas. Click here to read full article. https://www.jckonline.com/editorial-article/jewels-spanish-shipwreck-display/
