Captained by Cristóbal Fernandez Franco, she was given the nicknames San José.
Because San José sank in 30 feet of water, little of her general cargo was recovered in the efforts of divers to save most of the silver coinage on board. Since no portion of the hull remained above the waterline after salvage, San José was not set afire like other wrecks. The wreckage of San José eventually became buried under the sand until xxxx. 4 reale $100 and 8 reale for $140. Thanks, Sean 504 416-xxxx
