Treasure of the Atocha: A $400 Million Archaeological Adventure by R Duncan Mathewson III tells the story of the long search for the wreck, telling of a series of tantalising clues and serious setbacks before it was eventually found. Since the treasure laden Spanish galleon, Nuestra de Atocha foundered in a hurricane off the coast of Florida in 1622, generations of treasure hunters had tried and failed to locate the wreck and her fabulous cargo.
