Story
The story of pirate treasure starts with Columbus' arrival into the "New World" in 1492. Spain trades resources with colonists there, receiving gold, silver, gemstones and pearls. Wanting to get in on this trade was King Francis, king of France. He made arrangements with privateers, pirates who stole treasure from one country with the authorization to do so from a different country. In response, Spain builds two new treasure boats, the Tierra Firme and the New Spain with many other ships to accompany them. In 1622 a ship named Nuestra Señora de Atocha. But the greatest threat to the Spanish treasure ships is the weather. A hurricane sank 11 Spanish treasure ships in 1715 alone. They were able to salvage some but more than half remain on the ocean floor. In 1733 another hurricane hit Spanish treasure ships near the coast of Florida and all of those ships were lost. In 1968 the mother lode from the Atocha is found. It had 40 tons of gold and much more, valued at more than $450 million.
