The Spanish kept excellent records of the treasure ships transporting the wealth of the New World across the Atlantic and Caribbean.
Estimates of the number of ships sunk in the Caribbean and western Atlantic are as high as 4,000 in the Anegada Channel off the British Virgin Islands alone, some 134 ships are supposed to have gone down between 15.
The area is alive with tales and relics of pirates, Spanish gold, sunken ships and yellowed parchment maps that seem to cry out for some adventurous diver or explorer to dig deeper, look further, dive farther offshore. It doesn`t take too much imagination for a Caribbean vacationer to begin dreaming about discovering sunken or buried treasure.
