  1. It was probably about 220 tones. About 90 feet long. Carried 160 tons of merchandise. Sank Nov. 30th, 1595. Struck a shoal after being forced toward shore by storm. The crew was probably around 140 people. Half of them mutinied after the wreck and marched south overland back to Mexico through central and lower California.

  2. The location of this wreck is known. It is in a different position than the long time information given on the wreck would indicate. It is not in one piece. I think the National Park has a pretty good idea of where it is too. If you are serious about this shipwreck, you don’t go posting articles like this on the internet to get press. There have been a lot of articles like this, every couple of years a new one comes out, and then the guy never finds it.

    I don’t know why people keep doing this. If you want to go find it for yourself by following the clues, then great. If you want to learn about manilla galleon trade, then great. Enrich your minds. Probably the best book for understanding this wreck is to pick up a copy of Robert Stenuit’s Treasures of the Armada.
