In the meantime, many countries have embarked on research into the ships that sank at sea many years ago and the treasures in them. Many private organizations are getting bored of sifting the oceans. In the meantime, Spain has announced plans to purchase a new deep-sea research vessel.

Treasures in the ocean

Numerous gold, silver and emerald coins from ships that sank many years ago are still believed to be in Spanish waters today. Researchers have found that 710 ships have sunk in Cuba, Panama, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Bermuda, the Bahamas and the US Atlantic Ocean.

Half of these ships were on their way from the Latin American Empire to Spain when they sank due to bad weather, collisions with rocks or pirate attacks. This is the goal of Spain.

Search Hunt

The Spanish Ministry of Defense has launched a new project to find these treasures buried under the sea. Spain to buy Underwater Intervention Maritime Action Vessel for 192 million euros It has been announced that it will be operational this year.
