At Canon, three coins and a porcelain cup have been recovered from a ship that sank over 300 years ago. The ship, called the San Jose, was sunk by British ships in 1708, near Cartagena in Colombia. The ship is thought to have $20 billion worth of gold and silver coins on board, according to some estimates. Colombia, Spain, an American company and indigenous groups in Bolivia have all claimed that this treasure belongs to them. Colombian scientists located the ship in 2015 and launched an expedition to explore it last year.
