HTML:<b>The riveting true story of a legendary Spanish galleon that sunk off the coast of Colombia with over $1 billion in gold and silver—and one man’s obsessive quest to find it—from the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Madhouse at the End of the Earth</i></b><br /> <b>“Splendid . . . Sancton is an expert guide through eighteenth-century European geopolitics [and] modern marine archaeology.”—<i>The Wall Street Journal<br /></i></b><br /> Roger Dooley wasn’t looking for the <i>San José</i>. But an accidental discovery in the dusty stacks of a Spanish archive led him to the story of a lifetime, the tale of a great eighteenth-century treasure ship loaded with riches from the New World and destined for Spain. But that ship, the galleon <i>San José,</i> met a darker fate. It was drawn into a pitched battle with British ships of war off the coast of Cartagena, and when the smoke cleared, the <i>San José</i> and its bounty had disappeared into the ocean, its coordinates lost to time.<br /> Though a diver at heart, Dooley was an unlikely candidate to find the <i>San José</i>. He had little in the way of serious credentials, yet his tenacity and single-minded devotion to finding and excavating the ship powered him across four decades, even as he became a man in exile from the country of his birth. As Dooley jousted with famous treasure hunters and well-funded competitors, he slowly homed in on a patch of sea that might contain a three-hundred-year-old shipwreck—or nothing at all.<br /> <i>Neptune's Fortune</i> is a thrilling adventure, taking readers from great naval battles on the high seas to the sun-soaked shores that nurtured history’s most notorious treasure hunters, to the archives that held the secret keys to lost fortune on the ocean floor.
