In 1659, a Spanish galleon filled with treasure sailed from Veracruz, Mexico. After a short stop for supplies in Havana, it left for its long voyage to Spain. It was sunk in a hurricane on a reef off the coast of Haiti and no one knew what happened to it. About 350 years later an ancient parchment document was discovered in the archives of a museum in Havana that brought the subject of that galleon to a small U.S. Navy crew that worked for the Office of Naval Intelligence. It led Captain Al Jacobs and his crew on a fascinating adventure.
