A quest for a sunken ship and lost treasure. It is the stuff of childhood stories being played out in real life as Colombia sets out to retrieve the treasure of the San José galleon and a trove worth $20 billion.
The South American country is sending a robot into the deep to recover loot from the “holy grail” of shipwrecks. It sounds like a boy’s own tale, but it comes with a war of words over sovereignty and the raiding of a war grave.
I love treasure hunts.
