The ship Las Maravillas lost direction and sank amid these uncharted reefs, taking $400 million worth of treasure with it. After several years of searching, the shipwreck was located forty miles from the Little Bahama Bank in 2022—centuries later. These contemporary treasure seekers succeeded where the Spanish government, innumerable times over, was unable to: they recovered Maravillas’ treasures from the ocean floor.
