San José, a Spanish galleon that wrecked in 1708 during a naval battle is believed to contain ‘precious cargo’ with gold, silver, and emeralds aboard.'Wager's Action off Cartagena,' painted by Samuel Scott illustrates a war waged against a Spanish treasure fleet off Cartagena in modern-day Colombia on 28 May 1708.
