Since 1693, a Spanish galleon has kept its secrets at the bottom of the sea - but has a team of intrepid underwater archaeologists unlocked the mysteries that inspired a movie?
According to the university, supported by the National Geographic Society and the Maritime Archaeological Society, they carried out underwater mapping of possible locations of the ship.
"Our team, the UD squad, was brought into this project to map the seafloor and try to find where the material from the shipwreck is coming from."While for centuries, there has been land-based evidence of a wreck, there has only been limited search efforts offshore by local fisherman and archaeological groups.
"Collecting high-quality data in that environment was pretty tough, and we were lucky to have a great captain who knew the conditions and could position the boat in tight quarters so we could do our jobs to the best of our ability."
