A treasure hunter will exorcise a British battleship that sank off the coast of Uruguay more than 250 years ago. He hopes to discover its cargo, which is thought to be a value of $1 billion gold.
The ship sank in 1762 after a naval battle with the Spaniards, while its captain Robert McNamara was trying to retake the town of Colonia del Sacramento, writes the prestige “,Times”.
But now, treasure hunter Reuben Colado, who discovered the ship destroyed in 2004, aims to get it out of the sea because he says he hides an entire gold fortune aboard.
The coins were sent by the most powerful global corporations of the time to pay the people who will fight to conquer the continent as part of the 7-year-old War.
If the ship hadn't failed in its attempt to recapture the city of Colonia del Sacramento, today we could have been speaking English all over Latin America”, he told the newspaper “SETimes”.
