About 1,000 shipwrecks hidden in Colombian waters. Captain San Jose-the Spanish galleon sunk in 1708 higher value in the Caribbean Sea, estimated at over five billion dollars was found as announced by President Juan Manuel Santos on 4 December. The ship El Conquistador, ships San Roque, Santo Domingo, St. Ambrose and Our Lady of Begoña, are just some of the treasures that still lie at the bottom of our sea.
Great news: We found the galleon San Jose! Tomorrow I will give the details in a press conference from Cartagena
-. Juan Manuel Santos (JuanManSantos) December 4, 2015
In 2013, Juan Manuel Santos enacted Law 1675 on the grounds safeguard, restore and make visible the underwater cultural heritage in Colombia, aimed at experts rescuers tender for acquiring the exploration permit and rescue, and it is extracted from sea divide medias.En 2014 passed the decree was passed, and now the treasure hunters offer and are waiting to be granted permission navigation. Since then, there is a rush to find these wrecks. Rescuers intentions are clear. The government, for its part, argues that it is an absurdity sunken ships leave it does not allow a cultural achievement and an economic benefit to the nation.
The National Maritime Authority (Dimar) says to be sure where 283 vessels are located, and that the location of San Jose is reduced to a spectrum where there are 15, but you can say that is located in an area where there are 2 or 3 after the appropriate tests are performed. This is not an issue that the state likes to talk. While many heads look out to rescue the galleons, the Dimar said to have established a tacit censorship by the passions that the issue generates.
President Juan Manuel Santos through his Twitter account, said the afternoon of December 4, 2015 that the galleon San Joseph was found
For now, what is known of San Jose is that sank in the Rosario Islands, about 300 meters deep, and that was the target of a legal dispute between the Nation and the Sea Search Armada, a US company rescuer treasure. In 1983, the government of President Belisario Betancur, when there was about a mature legal framework, the company received permission to explore the area and gave the alleged Galleon coordinates the national government. However, the State noted at the time, based on a subsequent rectification by Thomas Thompson -a treasure hunter who is now in jail for fraud-reported in the area there was nothing. Either way, the country lost a lawsuit with the company for the claims that this made on the location of the galleon, and now the state must pay up to 50 percent of what is not considered rich heritage, if that is reached to rescue the San Jose and this is in the coordinates reported by the SSA.
The fate of the San Roque is also at stake today. Last year, Burtt Webber, renowned American treasure hunter, resumed talks with the government to ransom, because since Santos assumed the presidency for the first time, Webber crossed cards with him to make the finding, but an agreement was never cooked. Neither knew what the intentions of Daniel de Narvaez, a Colombian nautical expert, who also had a desire to rescue this ship worth about three billion dollars were.
The San Roque wrecked near Serranilla archipelago of San Andres and Providencia, and an estimated submerged along with the other ships: San Ambrosio, Santo Domingo and Our Lady of Begoña. However, around there is another legend that makes the tightrope the power that could have Colombia on these, and is the theory that it is likely that the ship is found today in Nicaragua sea.
2002, 30 national and international experts in shipwrecks, with the support of Ministry of Culture and the Navy rescued 11 El Conquistador cannons, naval ship fleet Blas de Lezo, Spanish lieutenant in the eighteenth century lost forever his ship in Cartagena. After being registered and examined, the artifacts were returned to their place of rescue to prevent spoilage.
Carlos Cairo, co-creator anthropologist Sign Terra Foundation, he said in the voice of hundreds of protectionists is sacrilege rescue these ships without a compelling reason and load with a trade value. While pirate ambition tries his luck in waters filled with rich heritage, protectionist cross their fingers hoping that it is more than just history.
