Galleons and Sunken Treasure

Autor Claudio Bonifacio Traducere de Lubos Kordac, T. L. Armstrong
en Limba Engleză Paperback
This is the first English translation of Claudio Bonifacio's original Spanish work, "Galleons Con Tesoros." It contains chapters dealing with specific shipwrecks of the Spanish Kingdom during the period of the Carrera de Indias, along with original extracts from Spanish archives the world over recounting the details of notable wrecks such as the Maravillas, the San Roque, the Mercedes, and many others. "Galleons And Sunken Treasure" is an authoritative work by one of the most famous research personalities in the field. An extensive chapter dealing with the fabled Treasure Island of Simon Zacarias is included, along with original hand-drawn charts. More than 70 illustrations and maps are found in this volume, and more than 1100 wreck listings by locality with full archive citation are included. A detailed index completes the book; laid out separately using vessel names, place names, annum cites, and general subject matter. Contemporary fascination with treasure lore has promoted a genre of entertainment for decades, both in print and on film, hinged upon Spanish treasure ships, violence on the high sea, and lost wealth. While we've grown accustomed to this plot, the facts, as Claudio Bonifacio has recorded them in "Galleons And Sunken Treasure," far surpass what we might have imagined, proving once again that truth is indeed, frequently stranger than fiction... and significantly more exciting
